Programme Synopsis

For the past year or two, there has been numerous commentaries written on the comparisons between Singapore and Dubai for the set-up of family offices.  Whether both are complementary or competing, the discussion continues. 

To help the tax profession in Singapore gain a better grasp of the family office movement in Dubai in order to be more discerning and be able to draw your own conclusions, this upcoming succinct online session aims to cut to the chase.  

Facilitated by Ms Nishi Agrawal, Counsel at Aurifer Middle East Tax Consultancy, the webinar will tap on her expertise in international and cross-border taxation to learn about the practical considerations, tax implications and key pointers to note. Join in to exchange perspectives with fellow tax professionals.

Programme Outline

  • Individual Tax Residency in the UAE: Know the key criteria, common pitfalls, and strategic planning approaches
  • Family Offices: Understand the tax treatment of single and multi-family offices established in both the UAE Mainland and Free Zones
  • Family Foundations: Grasp the UAE tax implications for family foundations, including those set up in financial Free Zones such as DIFC and ADGM
  • Double Tax Treaties: Be familiar with the applicability of tax treaties and taxing rights on the passive income derived by UAE tax residents and family foundations
  • Practical Tax Considerations: Gain insights for individuals and foundations in navigating compliance and efficiency
  • Structuring Alternatives: Exploring how the individual tax residency rules interact with the family foundation regime to support long-term planning
