Tax policy & administration

Working with government and other stakeholders

PwC’s role in tax policy involves working with a wide range of stakeholders. Our teams help individuals and organisations with the tax side of their businesses and investments, such as tax compliance and tax planning.

We also have expertise in the development of tax policy and how tax administrations themselves are established and managed from a legislative, organisational, systems and process perspective.

PwC’ indirect tax experts in the Middle East have helped put VAT systems into operation in leading and emerging jurisdictions around the world. PwC has worked with governments in the region advising them on the implementation of VAT.
