Introduction of VAT in the Middle East – Seminar

The introduction of VAT in the GCC from January 2018 will be a significant change for businesses operating in the region. Local specialists have come to the UK to run this seminar. They will guide you through the rules that are to be implemented and will explain to you what is known now given that some of the countries have issued their legislation/guidance and what developments are expected in the near future.
