UAE Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT)

UAE Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT) – Advisory & Compliance Services

Stay Compliant with UAE’s New Global Minimum Tax Framework

The UAE Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT) is part of the nation’s implementation of the OECD Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax framework, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 January 2025.

Under this rule, multinational enterprise (MNE) groups with consolidated global revenues of EUR 750 million or more in at least two of the previous four years must maintain an Effective Tax Rate (ETR) of at least 15% in the UAE.

If an MNE’s ETR falls below this threshold, a top-up tax will apply — collected within the UAE instead of being claimed by foreign jurisdictions under the Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) or Undertaxed Profits Rule (UTPR).

At Alchemist Accounting, we help multinational clients prepare for and comply with the UAE DMTT regulations through expert advisory, readiness assessments, and comprehensive compliance support.
