The State of the Art of Pillar One and Pillar Two

Download programme
In October 2021, the vast majority of the Inclusive Framework (IF) member countries agreed upon a two-pillar solution to address the tax challenges deriving from the digitalization of the economy as proposed by the OECD (so-called BEPS 2.0 Project). This project represents a complete rewriting of the current international tax rules, allowing states to tax a share of residual profits of non-resident businesses without physical presence in their territory, on the one hand, and to impose a minimum level of tax on global profits of MNEs regardless of where they are headquartered on the other hand. Despite the IF agreement on the general architecture of the two pillars, negotiations are still ongoing in the international tax setting. After an overview of the projects’ policy goals and overall design, this webinar discusses the latest developments concerning both Pillar One and Pillar Two, the work that has been carried out so far, and what is still missing to finalize the projects.
