Pillar Two

Global Minimum Tax

Making Pillar Two workable and sustainable

Pillar Two is no longer a future consideration for the Middle East- it is already reshaping how groups operate, report and govern tax across the region. With countries introducing domestic minimum top-up taxes and income inclusion rules alongside new corporate tax regimes, multinational groups face overlapping rules, accelerated timelines and heightened data demands.

We help in-scope groups operating in and from the Middle East translate Pillar Two into clear, locally grounded impacts and practical solutions. Combining regional insight, dedicated specialists and proven technology, we support you in navigating local adoption, managing interactions with domestic rules and building a sustainable approach to global minimum tax compliance.


How we can help

Impact & Readiness Assessment

Understanding exposure and priorities

We assess how Pillar Two applies across your global footprint, including entities in scope, interaction with domestic taxes, expected top-up taxes, data availability and system impacts. You receive clear modelling and a prioritised roadmap to support informed regional and group-level decisions.

Data & Systems Strategy

Building foundations for local and global rules

We design Pillar Two data and systems strategies that reflect both global minimum tax requirements and local Middle East adoption. Working across tax, finance and IT, we define required data, sources, controls and ownership—creating a practical setup that supports calculations, reporting and local and global compliance.

Compliance and Reporting

Managing local and global compliance and reporting obligations

We support the full Pillar Two compliance lifecycle, including registrations, notifications, and filings where required. This includes the preparation or review of the Pillar Two tax reporting for financial statements. 

Combining technology and process, we help you manage multiple filing obligations efficiently across Middle East jurisdictions.
