Introduction
As we enter 2025, the GCC’s tax landscape continues to evolve, driven by economic diversification and fiscal reforms. This edition of ACME Group’s tax newsletter highlights key developments that took place in 2024, including VAT refinements, corporate tax updates, and advancements in digital tax systems.
Key updates to watch include the anticipated rollout of corporate income tax in additional GCC states, adjustments to VAT rates in select jurisdictions, and new regulations aimed at enhancing cross-border tax cooperation. Additionally, expect further digitalization of tax filing and reporting processes, aimed at simplifying compliance and improving efficiency.
A key focus for the year 2025 is improving tax transparency and cooperation, reflecting the region’s deeper integration into the global economy. Digital tools are also enhancing tax processes and boosting compliance.
