Managing Tax Risks in the Commodity Market

Webinar recording

The commodity trade market is significantly developing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, the current tax legislation does not address the developments as most of these are non-tax related. As a result, there are a range of potential risks areas that commodity market participants in the UAE should be aware of.

Watch the webinar

Given the above, we hosted a webinar in collaboration with the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) that took place on Wednesday, 9 March 2022. The aim of this session was to help businesses identify the potential risks for commodity market participants, as well as effective risk mitigation actions. Our tax experts covered the following key topics:

  • Developments in the commodity trade market in the UAE;
  • Potential tax risks;
  • Risk mitigation actions; and
  • Why now?

Our panel of tax experts also discussed and provided an analysis on the developments, challenges, and next steps your business should be considering in order to safeguard itself from tax risks.
