Tax planning for businesses that work across borders
The UAE has one of the largest networks of Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements in the world, covering more than 130 countries, which strengthens its position as a global business hub.
These treaties give cross-border businesses a real advantage, but only if their international tax planning and compliance are done well.
UAE Corporate Tax now sits alongside the tax laws of other countries, which raises questions about permanent establishment, withholding taxes, controlled foreign company rules and how treaty provisions apply.
Our International Tax team pairs detailed knowledge of UAE tax law with a strong grasp of global frameworks, OECD guidelines and BEPS standards.
