Sarah Juneau
Tax Law Specialist (UAE Focus)
Ottawa, Canada,ON
Profil professionnel
Recently graduated Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation with a strong academic and practical background in Canadian and international tax law. Specialized in cross-border taxation, BEPS, OECD Pillar Two, and Transfer Pricing, with professional experience at the Canada Revenue Agency and within corporate law firms.
Licensed Notary in Quebec, Canada. As a Notary in the province of Quebec's civil law system, my professional practice covers real estate law, corporate law, estate planning, wills, and trusts. This background provides me with strong legal drafting skills, analytical abilities, and client advisory experience, comparable to an attorney.
Highly motivated to relocate to the United Arab Emirates and pursue a career in international taxation with a focus on the Middle East region. Currently planning advanced training in UAE Corporate Tax, VAT, and Federal Tax Authority (FTA) compliance, with a strong interest in joining PwC Middle East and pursuing their UAE Tax specialization program.
