Global tax reform

Government policymakers around the world are working together on tax reforms that could significantly alter the way global businesses are taxed.

Of key importance is the OECD/G20 led project on addressing the tax challenges arising from the globalization and digitalization of the economy, commonly known as BEPS 2.0. The changes in development would significantly alter the overall international tax architecture under which multinational businesses operate.

The BEPS 2.0 project has two elements: Pillar One on new nexus and profit allocation rules with the objective of assigning a greater share of taxing rights over global business income to market countries and Pillar Two on new global minimum tax rules with the aim of ensuring that all global business income is subject to at least an agreed minimum rate of tax. All multinational companies will be affected by the fundamental changes to long-standing international tax rules contemplated under Pillar One and Pillar Two.

How much time, resources and investment will it take enterprises to comply and country tax authorities to administer?

 
  • Global minimum taxes are proposed to take effect in 2023: is your organization prepared?

    Global minimum tax rules, also known as Pillar Two Model Rules, are set to dramatically change the international tax landscape and create significant new tax reporting and compliance requirements for affected organizations, in every industry. Developed in the OECD/G20 BEPS 2.0 project, these rules are targeted to take effect as early as 2023. Organizations must take action now to understand the impacts of the Model Rules and develop a comprehensive plan, investing in additional resources and technology, as well as updating tax reporting processes and controls.
