About Certificate of Residence
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
Freelancers, exporters of services and investors often lose 15–30% to foreign withholding tax that a TRC could reduce. Some countries won't apply treaty rates without it.
We confirm your residency, prepare and file Form 10FA, follow up for the certificate, and help with the payer's own forms.
An Indian resident who earns income abroad — fees from foreign clients, dividends, interest — can claim treaty rates there by giving the foreign payer a Tax Residency Certificate (TRC). It is applied for online in Form 10FA, and the assessing officer issues it in Form 10FB, usually for a financial year. Foreign payers may also ask for their own forms, such as the US W-8BEN.
