Pillar Two in Practice: An Open Insight Webinar

Understanding the OECD GloBE Rules and preparing for the UK CIOT’s Pillar Two Award Certificate

 The OECD Pillar Two framework is reshaping the international tax landscape by introducing a global minimum effective tax rate and complex compliance obligations for multinational groups. Tax and finance professionals across the UAE and the wider GCC are increasingly required to understand not only the technical rules, but also their practical implications for group structures, financial reporting, governance, and compliance.

The session is designed to give participants clarity on the core concepts, emerging challenges, and the capabilities required to confidently progress toward formal certification, with the next examination scheduled for June 2026.
