Managing Pillar Two Implementation – Impact Assessment, Compliance and Beyond

Download programme
OECD Pillar Two proposals imposing 15% minimum taxes on the profits of multinational groups (i.e. global revenue of EUR 750 million) are being widely implemented. These rules came into effect in many countries, including some in the Asia-Pacific region, from 2024. This state of flux is likely to raise many practical questions for multinational groups facing potential top-up taxes, as well as for countries introducing top-up taxes. This three-day masterclass explores the practical impact of Pillar Two top-up taxes that may be imposed under the QDMTT, IIR and UTPR. The course will demystify the complex Pillar Two rules using examples, case studies and group discussions based on real-life scenarios.

scope of application of IIR, UTPR and QDMTT and the order of application, application of Pillar Two to international tax planning structures such as holding, financing, IP and supply chain structures, including examples of country implementation of Pillar Two.
