International Taxation
Managing global tax with confidence
In a rapidly changing world, businesses are often required to rethink how they operate, create, deliver and monetize value. In doing so, companies are in need for clear, practical and forward-looking solutions for managing business complexities and overall tax footprint.
We help you manage international tax as you grow across the region and globally. Working with Middle East based groups investing abroad, and international groups investing in the region, we help you to design and implement tax compliant, structures aligned with commercial reality. Backed by PwC’s global network, we help you manage cross-border tax costs and risks, review your effective tax rate and support sustainable growth.
How we can help
Aligning tax structures with global growth
We support you as you expand into new markets by designing business-driven and cross-border structures that align substance, profit and strategy. We help you to navigate the tax implications associated with operating models and holding structures both from the perspective of investing and / or divesting, ensure tax compliance, manage risks and support future transactions and long-term growth without compromising value and control.
Managing tax across complex global footprints
Whether you are considering a business relocation between jurisdictions, business model reinvention or a transformation, we are here to support. From assessing the trading structures and cross-border flows to review of permanent establishment, withholding tax and double tax treaty relief aspects, while working closely with our transfer pricing and legal experts, we provide practical turnkey support and ‘end-to-end’ solutions that allow your business to expand and operate globally without unexpected tax exposure.
Balancing tax efficiency and cash outcomes
We support you in managing your global effective tax rate and cash taxes payable.

Preparing for tax changes
We guide you through regional and global tax changes and reforms. Our support includes impact assessments, data and systems readiness review, restructuring and ongoing advisory as rules evolve - helping you stay ready for a constantly changing tax environment while remaining competitive.
Global Minimum Tax
Pillar Two is no longer a future consideration for the Middle East- it is already reshaping how groups operate, report and govern tax across the region. With countries introducing domestic minimum top-up taxes and income inclusion rules alongside new corporate tax regimes, multinational groups face overlapping rules, accelerated timelines and heightened data demands.

Controlled reporting. Clear insight.
Increased reporting does not automatically deliver better insight- particularly when obligations span multiple regimes, systems and teams. Global information reporting requirements such as economic substance rules, automatic exchange of information, crypto asset reporting framework and cross-border disclosure regimes place growing demands on data quality, governance and accountability.
