The Ministry announced that the inaugural corporate tax public awareness session will be held on 9^th January in Abu Dhabi, with more sessions to be hosted in-person across the various emirates as well as virtually through an awareness digital platform.

The programme has been designed to raise awareness of the UAE corporate tax law amongst the largest audience possible. While the sessions are open to the public, the primary target audience includes business leaders from all sectors, including but not limited to, chief financial officers, tax directors and managers legal advisors and counsels, and business owners.

The Corporate Tax public awareness sessions will be led by tax experts from the Ministry of Finance and are designed to raise awareness and provide a trusted platform for transparent discussions and address questions and queries from the various business sectors.
