Qatar parent and IIR

We are a Qatar parent with low-taxed foreign units. What applies?

The situation

The IIR makes a Qatari parent pay top-up on low-taxed foreign constituent entities.

The law

  • Law No. 22 of 2024 amending Law No. 24 of 2018 (global minimum tax): IIR and DMTT at 15 percent for MNE groups with EUR 750 million revenue in two of the four prior years, for years from 1 January 2025

What it means for you

Compute the effective tax rate for each foreign jurisdiction. Where a foreign unit pays below 15 percent and that country has no qualified DMTT, the Qatar parent pays the top-up under the IIR. A country with its own qualified DMTT collects first.

What to do

  1. Map foreign units.
  2. Compute ETR.
  3. Check foreign DMTTs.
  4. Compute IIR.
