Pillar Two

The tax implications of Pillar Two are significant for multinational enterprises, regardless of their primary tax jurisdiction’s status of implementation.

Companies will need to ensure they have data and resources available to forecast and model, as well as maintain reporting and compliance requirements.

The Moore Global network of international tax and transfer pricing specialists are uniquely placed to advise on implementation and compliance with Pillar Two, as well as other compliance obligations impacting large multinationals.

What is Pillar Two?

Pillar Two introduces a coordinated framework to establish a global minimum taxation rate / effective tax rates (ETR) of 15%, applicable to multinational entity (MNE) groups with consolidated global revenue over EUR 750 million.

How does Pillar Two impact organisations?

Multinational entities (MNE) need to ensure they have the data required to forecast and model their tax obligations now and into the future, as well as the data to maintain reporting and compliance requirements. In addition to tax, there are several key stakeholder groups within an organization who are likely to be most impacted by the changes as a result of Pillar Two.  One of the common challenges many companies are facing is a resource deficit to lead such an initiative.

MNE’s who meet the criteria for Pillar Two need to understand, evaluate, and model the impacts of Pillar Two across the organisation. This includes, but is not limited to, assessing the additional data and reporting/compliance requirements, evaluating the existing technology systems and capabilities, establishing processes and controls, preparing and training resources, and managing stakeholder expectations.

When does Pillar Two come into effect?

Implementation of Pillar Two rules varies by jurisdiction and vary in how these rules apply alongside existing tax law on a country-by-country basis. However, there is broad consensus in the underlying principles, based on the OECD model, with more countries introducing legislation for future income years.
