The UAE’s tax landscape is undergoing rapid transformation, marked by the introduction of a 9% federal corporate tax, the upcoming 15% Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax under OECD Pillar Two for large multinationals, and the rollout of R&D and high-value employment tax credits to drive innovation.
Recent developments include fair-value accounting options for real estate, stricter compliance enforcement by the Federal Tax Authority, and the planned nationwide e-invoicing mandate by mid-2026.
These changes position the UAE as both a competitive global investment hub and a leader in technology-driven tax administration, making Taxcom Middle East 2026 a timely platform for policymakers, industry leaders, and experts to navigate the evolving fiscal environment
