Course Overview

In a fast-evolving regulatory landscape, large multinational companies (MNCs) operating in the UAE must go beyond surface-level compliance. This intensive 3-day UAE Corporate Tax crash course is tailored exclusively for Tier 2 multinational groups with a consolidated turnover above EUR 750 million, bringing together strategic insights and hands-on training for real-world implementation.

Led by senior taxation experts, the course goes deep into OECD-aligned transfer pricing, BEPS Pillar 2 compliance, withholding tax planning, and FTA audit preparedness. Whether you're restructuring your UAE entity or aligning documentation across jurisdictions, this program gives your team the tools to lead with confidence.
