Our practical view

What the development means

  • Groups should test the consolidated revenue threshold and identify all UAE constituent entities.
  • The registration analysis should be aligned with group ownership, fiscal year and Pillar Two reporting data.
  • Excluded entities, permanent establishments, joint ventures and changes in group composition need separate review.

Recommended actions

What UAE businesses should do now

  • Confirm whether the group falls within the global minimum tax rules.
  • Assign a UAE filing entity and accountable data owners.
  • Reconcile UAE entity data to the consolidated financial statements and country-by-country reporting records.
  • Document scope conclusions even where no top-up tax is expected.
