We hosted a webinar on Wednesday, 5 March 2025 at 1 pm (UAE time), focusing on the maritime shipping industry's crucial role in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Maritime Shipping Industry Tax Implications: A GCC Perspective
The session covered the sector's impact on the GCC economy and global trade, supply chain dynamics, tax regimes and subsidies, and transfer pricing challenges.
We also discussed recent tax developments, particularly the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Pillar Two framework, and latest industry trends. This webinar provided essential insights to navigate complex tax regulations and stay competitive in the market.
