Having relocated from India to Dubai to take on his new role, Rege has become a member of Baker Tilly’s Tax division. 

“I am delighted to join the Middle East practice of Baker Tilly, which ranks as one of the top ten assurance, advisory and tax practices in the region [as well as globally],” said Rege on his affiliation with the firm. 

On his arrival in Dubai, he said: “I am fascinated with the city and the UAE’s leadership. The complex tax system in the region is turning towards maturity and I look forward to serving the business community navigate tax regulation and advance their operations.” 

Rege’s addition comes hot on the heels of the addition of TCN Swamy, who similarly relocated from India to bolster Baker Tilly’s Middle East practice. Swamy is a partner and head of the Tax division.
