Tax residency info
Proof of tax residency
A business or individual’s tax residency country/region is where they are responsible for paying taxes. The country in which you reside isn't necessarily your tax residency country. To determine your status, consult a tax advisor or your country/region’s tax residency criteria.
Google requires proof of tax residency to determine our withholding obligation on the payments made to you.
For more information, refer to Tax residency certificates (TRC)
A tax residency certificate is a specific document that indicates the taxpayer's residency. A government issues such a certificate to prevent tax fraud resulting from the incorrect application of the provisions of international treaties on the avoidance of double taxation. You can use a TRC to show that you deserve to benefit from the application of double tax treaties, and to comply with local tax regulations.
Requirements for a tax residency certificate:
- Is a government-issued document created for the purpose of validating tax residency.
- If the TRC indicates a country related to a tax treaty, the treaty must pertain to the country.
