Thank you

Answer 1

Dear @Vesna D,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A and for your request regarding the Tax Residency Certificate for the 2026 tax year.

To ensure that I provide you with the correct and legally applicable document, could you please let me know which region or country you require the certificate for, and which Microsoft legal entity appears on your invoices (for example, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, Microsoft Corporation, etc.)?

Tax Residency Certificates are issued per legal entity and per region, so this information is necessary to avoid any mismatch.

Please note that Tax Residency Certificates are legal and tax documents containing sensitive information, so they cannot be shared publicly on the forum. I will send the document to you via Private Message, you can check your private messages by clicking the envelope icon at the top of this thread, or by refreshing the page if needed.

If my reply helps clarify the process and next steps, I would appreciate it if you could mark this answer as Accepted, as this also helps other users with similar questions find the correct guidance more easily.

Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

Wishing you a great day ahead!

Warm regards,

Tax residency certificates for Microsoft entities are published as standard forms and made available for partners and customers to download. For recent years, these are listed under the common tax forms used to set up Microsoft in Accounts Payable systems (for example, “Certification of Tax Residence” for Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited and “Tax Residency” certificates for specific regions such as India, Taiwan, and Indonesia).

For a tax residency certificate for tax year 2026, use the same channel:

1. Go to the common tax forms section for organization tax information in Partner Center billing.
2. Locate the relevant Microsoft legal entity and region (for example, Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited or Microsoft Regional Sales Pty Ltd for your country/region).
3. Download the latest available “Certification of Tax Residence” or “Tax Residency” document for the applicable year once 2026 forms are published.

If the 2026 certificate is not yet listed, contact Microsoft or Partner Center support and request the 2026 Tax Residency Certificate for the specific Microsoft legal entity and region you need. Support can confirm availability or expected publication timing.
