The KSA tax system is undergoing significant changes. In 2017, excise tax was implemented and new zakat implementing regulations were issued and amendments were made to the income tax law. In 2018, VAT was introduced and KSA also signed the multilateral instrument to prevent base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”). Transfer pricing regulations are also expected to be published before the end of this year.

Al Tamimi & Company is pleased to invite you to attend a morning seminar which will focus on lessons learnt so far after the implementation of VAT and what businesses should be doing to manage VAT risk.  We will also discuss the key corporate tax developments in 2018 and various hot topics.

Our seminar will cover the following topics:
