European Businesses in the UAE: Financial, Tax, and Compliance Requirements

Attracted by its strategic location and economic powerhouse status, European companies are increasingly setting up operations in the UAE – where France, UK and Germany rank among the top three European investors with over 600 French firms operating in the region.

Dubai, celebrated for its strategic position, strong infrastructure, and pro-business environment, presents unique challenges and opportunities that we will explore in detail. As European businesses extend their reach into the Middle East, meeting the UAE’s compliance standards is crucial for building trust, attracting investments, and maintaining a competitive advantage. This is particularly pertinent now, as the UAE has introduced unprecedented changes to its tax environment that will affect both new and established businesses.

Attendees from sectors like finance, healthcare, trade, and technology will gain vital knowledge to excel in the UAE's regulatory environment at this upcoming event, featuring our experts Maria Kotova (Regional Director - Middle East) and Jacob Thomas (Senior Associate - Corporate Accounting Services) with Chahinez Meddeber (Head of Tax & Growth Division) from In Extenso Advocats moderating the discussion.

Together, they will explore the dynamic regulatory landscape of Dubai and share best practices, case studies, and effective strategies for ensuring compliance in the UAE.

Throughout the sessions, we’ll address the latest updates and specifics of regulatory compliance in the UAE, including:

• An overview of the UAE market and the current financial landscape for European businesses
• Compliance obligations for both new and established companies in Dubai
• A breakdown of accounting standards, tax implications, and necessary statutory filings for effective operations
• Informative case studies that highlight compliance best practices
