What is the Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT)?
DMTT is a mechanism introduced under the OECD's BEPS Pillar Two initiative. It ensures that the profits of large Multinational Enterprises (MNEs) generated in the UAE are taxed at a minimum effective rate of 15%.
Who does the DMTT apply to in the UAE?
The DMTT rules generally apply to large multinational groups with global consolidated revenues exceeding €750 million (approx. AED 3.15 billion) in at least two of the previous four financial years.
How does DMTT interact with the standard 9% UAE Corporate Tax?
While the standard UAE Corporate Tax rate is 9%, large MNEs falling under the Pillar Two threshold will be subject to a "top-up" tax to bring their overall Effective Tax Rate (ETR) in the UAE up to the 15% global minimum standard.
