Advisory on Double Tax Avoidance

The process of double taxation involves two similar taxes imposed in two countries on the same taxpayer within the same tax base during the trade. It affects the exchange of goods, services, and capital, technology transfer, and trade across the border adversely. Qatar as well as the other emirates of UAE does not have an exhaustive or elaborate internal tax structure, in addition, it provides an exemption for Double Tax treatments.

The UAE has a large network of tax treaties with almost 115 countries and also several countries are in the process. Having tax treaties with other countries, UAE companies and expatriates can have relief for taxation. In addition to such relief, tax treaties allow the Exchange of Information (EOI) between the countries. Similarly, other GCC Countries also have their respective networks of Double Tax Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs).
