Q.995 How to get TAX Residency
Certificate from Saudi Arabia
Question: I am an NRI residing in Saudi Arabia for the last 18 years, I
have made some investments in India over a period of time and since these
are maturing, I am now told to produce TAX RESIDENCY CERTIFICATE from
Saudi Arabia to avoid double taxation in my capital gains. How and what is
the right procedure/approach to produce such certificate. I know I have
IQAMA the residency permit. will it be enough to prove my residency that I
am an NRI and working in Saudi Arabia?
Can any one of you please help? I am really struggling to get an answer to
this question for so many days.
Thanks,
Balasubramanian
Answer: My understanding is the taxation authorities of Saudi Arabia do not issue tax residency certificates.
The residence visa [Iqama] issued to Saudi Arabia residents should be used as proof Saudi Arabian residency. Perhaps you should
check with the institutions where you have your investments on how to proceed.
