GCC Tax Update: Bahrain and UAE joins Inclusive Framework on BEPS
Bahrain and UAE have become the 115th and 116th jurisdiction respectively to join the Inclusive Framework on BEPS.
By becoming a part of this Framework, the jurisdiction pledges to adopt four minimum standards under the BEPS Action Plan.
These minimum standards include countering harmful tax practices, preventing tax treaty abuse, implementing a country-by-country reporting scheme for large MNEs, and improving cross-border tax dispute resolution procedures.
One needs to wait and watch what changes will be made in the near future to adopt these standards.
