Indirect taxation (VAT and customs)

PricewaterhouseCoopers can help you to address business challenges through the strategic management of indirect taxes. We provide efficient and effective cross-border indirect tax management systems that will help you minimise costs, improve cash flow and deal with customs & duty issues.

We can assist in streamlining import and export activities and reduce business costs by identifying savings opportunities and minimising the customs compliance burden. Our team can help your business proactively manage customs-related risks by establishing effective compliance measures and reviewing them in the context of changing regulations.

The proposed Value Added Tax (VAT) for the UAE presents both opportunities and risks for UAE-based and global businesses. Our internationally experienced team can help your business gain a competitive advantage by facilitating effective and efficient preparations for VAT within the implementation timeframe, as well as advising you of your ongoing responsibilities.
