Committees & Initiatives

The Taxation Society is a non-political, educational association dedicated to promoting the study and dialogue of taxation and compliance across the United Arab Emirates and the broader Middle East region. Our mission is to enhance theoretical knowledge, practical application, and policy-level understanding of the tax and regulatory landscape, benefiting both businesses and professionals. The Society comprises a diverse network of business owners, bankers, CFOs, trust officers, accountants, lawyers, auditors, tax practitioners, and other professionals with a vested interest in taxation and compliance matters.

Current Initiatives

1. UAE Digital Taxation Forum

Recognizing the rapid shift towards e‑commerce and digital services, this Forum unites tax experts, fintech innovators, and government representatives to map out best practices around digital tax compliance. Over the past quarter, the Forum has hosted two interactive webinars, published a plain‑language guide to the new e‑invoicing rules, and begun building a sandbox platform for real‑time testing of filing software—all free to members.

2. Young Professionals Mentorship Programme

Designed to empower early‑career tax specialists, this year‑long programme pairs mentees with seasoned tax consultants and in‑house VAT experts. Beyond one‑on‑one coaching, participants attend quarterly “skills clinics” on topics like tax modelling, dispute resolution, and professional ethics. Feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, with over 80% of mentees reporting practical improvements in their day‑to‑day work.

3. UAE‑India Treaty Research Collaborative

Building on our ties with counterparts in India, this joint research group is analysing key provisions of the UAE‑India Double Taxation Avoidance Agreement. The team’s first white paper—on ‘beneficial ownership’ criteria—will be published next month, and we’re already planning a public briefing with both UAE and Indian officials to discuss recommendations.

4. Community Outreach & Financial Literacy Workshops

Taxation isn’t just a professional concern—it affects every resident and small business owner in the UAE. Our Outreach Committee has partnered with free zone authorities and local chambers of commerce to deliver hands‑on workshops in Arabic, English, and Hindi. To date, we’ve reached over 500 entrepreneurs, demystifying topics like business registration, VAT thresholds, and record‑keeping best practices.

These initiatives reflect our belief that tax expertise thrives when it’s shared—and that real impact comes when professionals engage directly with policymakers, businesses, and the wider community.

Committee Overview

At the heart of Taxation Society UAE lies a dynamic network of volunteer‑driven committees, each bringing together professionals, academics, and passionate advocates from across the Emirates. Whether you’re an experienced tax advisor or just starting out in practice, our committees offer a hands‑on way to shape the conversation on tax policy, share best practices, and mentor the next generation of specialists.

Every committee operates under a clear charter and is chaired by a respected leader in their field—ensuring that our work stays aligned with both global standards and the unique needs of the UAE market. From regular round‑tables on VAT compliance to deep dives into cross‑border treaty issues, each group meets virtually or in person, organizes public events, and publishes guidance notes. Our goal is to make cutting‑edge thinking accessible to everyone, so all Taxation Society members can benefit from our collective insights.
