Outbound and inbound multinational enterprises continue to be impacted by Pillar 2, which plays a crucial role in shaping the global tax landscape. As international tax regulations undergo significant changes, staying abreast of the latest developments becomes paramount for businesses operating across borders.
In light of this, our Tax experts conducted a 30-minute webinar on Tuesday, 20 June 2023, at 11:00 am (UAE time), to highlight the best practices for businesses in navigating the complexities of Pillar 2 and its implications. The webinar served as a platform for participants to gain insights into the latest advancements related to Pillar 2, the recent UAE Corporate Tax (CT) Cabinet decisions and their alignment/misalignment with Pillar 2, as well as the convergence and difference between the CT regime and Pillar 2.
