With the OECD's final regulatory package on Pillar 2 and the corresponding EU draft directive, corporations must prepare to comply with the regulations resulting from BEPS 2.0. Affected are groups with consolidated group sales of EUR 750 million or more. The scope is comparable to the groups that already prepare a country-by-country report of multinational groups. The implementation into national law has to take place by December 31, 2022. As a result, many detailed questions have not yet been conclusively clarified, which means that there may still be significant changes to the rules of the game. This also includes the dispatch of "GloBe Information Returns" and "Notification forms".

In Germany alone, around 800 corporate groups are affected. They still have to tackle implementation in 2022, as the EU directive on implementation is to be applied as early as 01.01.2023¹ and a procedural and technical implementation of the regulatory framework can take several months.

Pillar 2 or the so-called GloBE regulations provide for a global minimum tax of 15 percent on a separate tax base to be determined in a complex manner. The aim is to ensure effective local taxation of 15 percent in each jurisdiction in which one or more group companies or permanent establishments (referred to as constituent entities) are located.

¹ECOFIN meeting of March 15, 2022: Plans to postpone the deadline for transposing the directive into national law by one year to Dec. 31, 2023, and thus also to postpone the first-time application of the Income Inclusion Rule to fiscal years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2024

Group-wide technical support

With the Pillar 2 module in the GTC suite, AMANA offers group-wide technical and organizational support for companies in meeting this challenge. Central points here will be the manual and machine data collection (centralized and/or decentralized), documentation and evaluation of the data, which will ultimately be the basis of your determination or declaration.²

²The final calculation can be done by the user based on this data or on the basis of the corresponding reports.

Fast data acquisition

Pillar 2

As an additionally licensable module of the GTC suite, the Pillar 2 module can be activated without any further IT requirements so that data can be quickly collected and analyzed.
Thus, the Pillar 2 module of the GTC Suite represents the optimal basis for decentralized acquisition of data for determination and for making it available centrally as a basis for calculations.


The data entry scheme can be extended or adapted in coordination with you or your consultant, e.g. to reflect group or country specifics or to integrate additional calculations.

 

Cooperation partner WTS

In order to ensure topicality and practical relevance, we are developing the Pillar 2 solution in cooperation with WTS. Our cooperation partner WTS supports us with experts in international tax, tax accounting and reporting as well as digitalization to implement the extensive and complex rules in the Pillar 2 module.

Of course, we follow the current developments together. In particular, the possible reporting path is monitored in order to integrate existing interfaces (Elster, Elmar or BOB) or to implement an additional reporting path.
