Practical Pillar 2 update for Japanese multinationals with APAC operations

Pillar 2 rules are now in force in many jurisdictions, causing Japanese multinational corporations to face one of the largest changes to the global tax system in recent times. The income inclusion rule (“IIR”) and local qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes (“QDMTT”) will both result in complex new computations to calculate and report tax charges and effective tax rates, with a potential impact on cash tax, post-tax returns on capital and ultimately shareholder returns.

This EY webinar highlights some of the main challenges facing Japanese multinational corporations at both the ultimate parent and constituent entity level, as well as explaining how EY can help address these challenges and showcasing services incorporating EY tools which enable a seamless end-to-end workflow.

Agenda:
We plan to cover the following topics:

1. Pillar 2 update – Update on the latest developments at an OECD, Japan and APAC level. Key APAC jurisdictions covered will include Japan, Australia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore.
2. Managing Japanese and APAC obligations - Latest insights and practical experience of managing the data and technology challenges.
3. Sharing best practice - examples and introduction of EY tools which enable a seamless end to end workflow.
4. Real time monitoring of Pillar 2 implications – Understanding and managing the Pillar 2 impacts of transactions and reorganizations on a real time basis.
5. Tax accounting considerations and managing year end – Understanding the key tax accounting considerations and key steps to ensure readiness for year-end from a Pillar 2 perspective.
