As part of its continued efforts to enhance transparency and ensure robust financial reporting standards for businesses operating in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) under the Corporate Tax regime, the Ministry of Finance has issued an updated Ministerial Decision clarifying the requirements for the preparation and maintenance of audited financial statements in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 on the Taxation of Corporations and Businesses (“Corporate Tax Law”).

United Arab Emirates will impose a 15 per cent Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (DMTT) on large multinational corporations starting January, as per the Ministry of Finance announcement. This step aligns with the OECD’s global tax framework, supported by 136 countries, including the UAE, to ensure major corporations pay at least 15 per cent in taxes and reduce tax avoidance.
