Provision in brief

What does the official Article provide?

The official source is Arabic. This English commentary is explanatory and is not presented as an official translation.

This is a verified summary rather than a verbatim reproduction. Consult the official Arabic text, the Law and later decisions before making a final determination.

Madar explanation

What does the Article mean in plain language?

This Article details the averages used for the De Minimis Exclusion, including years without entities having revenue or loss and short periods. Do not automatically insert empty years as zeros. Historical treatment differs for merged-in and departing entities, and prior-year adjustments matter. A qualifying annual election removes the need for the ordinary rate and tax computation for that path and year; JV groups are assessed separately. Distinguish this exclusion from the EUR 750 million group scope test.

Who should read this?

Tax, accounting and financial-modelling teams responsible for the final computation.

Practical action

Average only eligible years and document annualisation of short fiscal periods.

Common mistake to avoid

Diluting averages with excluded years or confusing the exclusion thresholds with the scope threshold.

Limits of the commentary

Before relying on the result

Is this Article enough on its own?

Usually not. Read it with the connected Law Article, definitions, any effective election and current NBR guidance, especially for an amount or deadline.

Does NBR guidance replace the Regulations?

No. Guidance explains application and supports procedures and examples, but current legislation and decisions prevail in case of inconsistency.
