I am writing to request a Certificate of Tax Residence for the Tax Year 2026 for Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (MIOL).

This document is required by the Armenian tax authorities to apply the provisions of the Double Taxation Treaty between Georgia and Ireland, and to determine the appropriate withholding tax treatment on payments made to Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited

    A Certificate of Tax Residence for Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (MIOL) is not distributed publicly and must be obtained directly from Microsoft through official support/billing channels.

    To request a 2026 Tax Residence Certificate for MIOL for submission to the Armenian tax authorities:

    1. If the relationship is via Microsoft 365 for business or another commercial agreement (for example, CSP, MCA, EA):
      • Submit an official support/service request through the appropriate admin or partner portal so a Microsoft billing/tax engineer can provide the certificate.
      • For Microsoft 365 for business, start a service request from the Microsoft 365 admin center as described in the tax/billing help (“start a service request”).
      • Clearly state in the request that a “Certificate of Tax Residence for Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (MIOL) for tax year 2026” is required for Armenian tax authorities and double taxation treaty purposes.
    2. If the relationship is via Partner Center (CSP or Marketplace):
      • Use Partner Center to open a billing/tax support ticket.
      • Indicate that the document is needed as a tax residency certificate for MIOL for 2026.
    3. If a generic MIOL tax residence certificate is sufficient for the authorities (for example, for prior years):
      • Microsoft publishes standard “Certification of Tax Residence” documents for MIOL that are typically used to set up Microsoft in Accounts Payable systems.
      • For recent years, these are available as downloadable PDFs (for example, “Certification of Tax Residence” for 2023 and 2024). If the Armenian authority accepts the latest available certificate instead of a year-specific one, download and use the latest MIOL Certification of Tax Residence.

    If a 2026-specific certificate is required and not yet published, Microsoft support/billing must issue or provide guidance on the appropriate document.
