Pillar Two introduces a 15% global minimum Effective Tax Rate (“ETR”) for Multinational Enterprise Groups (“MNEs”) with consolidated turnover in excess of €750m. Taxpayers in scope of the rules would calculate their effective tax rate for each jurisdiction where they operate and pay top-up tax for the difference between their effective Pillar Two tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate.
With timely implementation there is a possibility for MNEs to not only save on compliance costs and efforts but also to be able to take the benefit of elections that are allowed under the Globe Rules, most of which are applies for a number of years after the election is made. In this edition we have provided all the elections that are contained within the OECD Model Rules.
We hope this bulletin adds Value in your professional Sphere.
