How MNEs can prepare for the UAE's DMTT rollout

In conversation with Kinnari Rahul Doshi, Managing Partner of N R Doshi & Partners:

- 

The UAE has introduced a Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT) aligning with the global 15 per cent minimum tax rate under OECD's Pillar Two framework. What key challenges should multinational companies prioritise?

The introduction of the UAE's Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax, effective from January 1, 2025, marks a significant shift in the tax landscape, aligning us with the global push for a 15 per cent minimum effective tax rate for large multinational enterprises (MNEs) — those with global revenues exceeding €750 million.

While this ensures fairer taxation globally, it presents considerable hurdles for businesses operating here.
