On 31 January 2022, the UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF) announced the introduction of a federal corporate tax (CT) in the UAE that will be effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023.
A smooth and comprehensive implementation of the new legislation, requires tax professionals to have an in-depth understanding of the new regulations and their application. To address the urgent need for upskilling of regional tax professionals in preparation for the new UAE federal corporate tax (CT) in June 2023, we have introduced a globally recognised UAE Corporate Tax Diploma, awarded by Association of Tax Technicians (ATT – UK), which will provide comprehensive knowledge of the new regulations, legislation requirements and their practical application.

The Diploma examination is approved by the UAE Federal Tax Authority (FTA) and the course has been attended by a select group of staff from the FTA and UAE Ministry of Finance (MoF).
