About

The UAE has grown in recent years as a centre for corporate HQs and regional offices and as a location for MNE tax functions. Coinciding with this growth, the UAE has introduced a number of tax reforms - most recently with last year’s introduction of a corporate income tax and changes to TP rules. This follows changes in recent years to substance rules and the introduction of VAT regulations.

This meeting is an opportunity for in-house tax directors to discuss how they are adapting to these changes and, in particular, what they are doing in response to the Pillar II global 15% minimum tax and its interaction with the UAE’s new (9%) CT rate.

The meeting will also be a de facto inaugural ‘Advisory Panel’ meeting for the Tax Director Network in the UAE. Locally-based Heads of Tax will identify the most pressing issues they face and how best to organise peer-to-peer activity to address them.
