Why is International Taxation is gaining importance now in the UAE?

UAE, a most rapidly growing business hub, is the gateway between the Asia Pacific and Europe for cross-border transactions. Hence International Tax Planning is a very important matter for most of the businesses operating in this region.

To improve international competitiveness, the UAE started shifting towards a taxation economy that encourages transparency and improves economic diversification. The UAE introduced Excise Tax in the year 2017 and Value Added Tax (VAT) in 2018. Subsequently, there are many developments with respect to improving international tax compliance in the country which are commendable and necessary.

The UAE has given a green signal to the internationally agreed standards on exchange of information for tax purposes both “EOIR” (Exchange of Information on Request (‘EOIR’) and Automatic Exchange of Information (from OECD)

The UAE is largely compliant with the requirements of CRS (Common Reporting Standards) as well as FATCA to improve international tax compliance and international tax reporting.

The United Arab Emirates joined the Inclusive Framework of BEPS (“ Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ”) on 16th May 2018 and became the 116th jurisdiction on the list. Hence the UAE is committed to implementing BEPS 4 minimum standards. In the year 2019, UAE implemented the following two regulations;

  • Economic Substance Regulation through the Cabinet Resolution no 31 of 2019. [Economic Substance Regulation is a part of Action 5 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting]
  • Country by Country Reporting - CbCR legislation through the Cabinet Resolution no 32 of 2019. [CbCR is a part of Action 13 of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS)]

Now the United Arab Emirates is committed to the relevant overseas authorities to report within the timelines.
