The premier event for Tax Technology and Compliance is set to return in November 2026, bringing together industry leaders, experts, and innovators to explore the latest advancements, regulatory updates, and strategic solutions shaping the future of tax in the region. The Tax Technology and Compliance Summit represents a defining moment for the GCC industry, as the region enters a new era of tax transformation driven by heightened compliance demands, the rollout of new taxes, and the accelerated adoption of digital solutions like e-invoicing. As finance, taxation, and information technology increasingly intersect, the summit stands out as a leading platform for knowledge exchange, best practice sharing, and future-ready innovation.

Despite VAT being introduced in the GCC as recently as 2018, many businesses still rely on manual, time-intensive processes, leading to frequent errors and regulatory penalties. Nevertheless, VAT has rapidly become a vital area of growth for both enterprises and service providers. Recent milestones—such as the

introduction of e-invoicing and corporate income tax in Saudi Arabia and the UAE—have prompted organizations to turn to cutting-edge tax technologies to enhance compliance and future-proof their operations.

Set against a backdrop of rapid developments in e-invoicing and VAT reporting across the Middle East, the summit doubles as a strategic business efficiency initiative, focused on optimizing the end-to-end supply chain. It places strong emphasis on global compliance trends, with expert insights into current regulatory shifts and their direct implications for regional businesses.

The event will present outstanding presentations and offer invaluable opportunities for networking and collaboration.

With Phase 1 of E-Invoicing reporting expected to go live in Q2 2026, the summit serves as an ideal platform to discuss emerging trends, share the latest updates, and prepare for what lies ahead.
