Key themes and topics
UAE International Tax provides a comprehensive examination of the taxation complexities related to international cross-border investments involving the United Arab Emirates. The book explores both domestic and international laws, regardless of whether the UAE is the source or destination of the investments.
In recent years, the UAE has undergone a substantial transformation in its tax environment. While maintaining its competitive tax status, the country has introduced several indirect taxes and strengthened its tax treaty network. It has done this whilst upholding its international obligations through new measures addressing base erosion and profit shifting, as well as enhancing transparency and information exchange. These developments have significantly impacted international cross-border investments.
In addition to analyzing the UAE's extensive network of international tax treaties, UAE International Tax also addresses intricate regulations designed to prevent treaty abuse, international VAT law, country-by-country reporting, economic substance requirements, beneficial ownership disclosures, financial account information, and other recent updates.
Authored in the context of the United Arab Emirates' "Year of the Fiftieth," commemorating 50 years since its establishment, UAE International Tax provides valuable insights into the evolving tax landscape of the region.
