In my country (EU) you need TRC if you don't deregister for tax purposes and are considered dual tax resident for that year under DTA. In the process of determining tax residency under DTA you must also provide TRC. If you only have other proofs that is not enough, they also want TRC and this procedure must be done every year unless you deregister.
The problem with UAE DTA is, it's written for UAE nationals only so you can't get UAE TRC as foreign national. I heard UAE changed this in March.
 
It is written UAE national and UAE resident
If you have Emirates ID, that makes you a resident.

In DTA with my country it says UAE national only. Yes, some countries also have UAE national and UAE resident written in it.
Since March 2023 I heard UAE revenue also issues TRC to UAE residents from countries that have only UAE national written in DTA, so that is not a problem anymore.
