Dear Freind
Trc means Transfer Residence Certificate.

your customer is right u have to give them trc.
if u r not give them trc then your tax calculation will be done on bilateral method.

Got it! Here’s a clear explanation for you:
---
### What is TRC?
**TRC = Tax Residency Certificate**
* It’s an official document issued by the tax authorities of a country certifying that a person or company is a resident of that country for tax purposes.
* TRC is used to claim benefits under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement (DTAA) between two countries.
---
### Who should have the TRC — Goa company or UK company?
* Since your company is **registered in Goa (India)** but is a **subsidiary owned by a UK company**, the TRC you need to provide depends on:
* **Who is the taxpayer in the transaction?**
Usually, the company registered in Goa is considered an Indian resident for tax purposes and will get a TRC from Indian tax authorities.
* The UK parent company will have its own TRC from the UK tax authorities.
---
### Why does your customer want the TRC?
* To apply the correct **withholding tax rate** on payments made to your company.
* If you provide a valid TRC, your customer can apply the **reduced tax rate** as per DTAA between India and UK.
* If TRC is **not provided**, your customer might apply the **higher domestic withholding tax rate** or **tax at source without benefit of DTAA**.
---
### What if you don’t provide TRC?
* Without TRC, your customer will apply **tax withholding at the higher rate** prescribed under Indian domestic law (which can be up to 30% or more depending on payment type).
* This leads to **higher tax deduction at source** (TDS), which you can later claim as credit in your tax returns but it impacts cash flow.

### Summary:
| Scenario | Result |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| TRC provided | Customer applies DTAA rate (usually lower TDS rate) |
| TRC not provided | Customer applies higher domestic TDS rate |
---
If your company is an Indian resident entity (registered and managed in India), you should get the **TRC from Indian tax authorities** (Income Tax Department, India).
Your UK parent company should have TRC from UK authorities.

Would you like help on how to apply for a TRC in India? Or details on the DTAA provisions between India and UK?
