The OECD’s Pillar Two is nearly upon us. Many jurisdictions will have local
legislation enacted and effective for January 1, 2024. While local legislation
is still being finalized in many countries, Pillar Two generally applies to
multinational companies with revenue of at least EUR 750M, and requires
companies to evaluate their tax expense through a data-intensive calculation
process — a significant operational challenge that may result in tax expense
increases for some companies. Additionally, readiness for the increased tax
compliance complexity is top of mind for many companies and proper preparation
can ease the burden.

Your business should act now. FASB and IASB have spoken — Pillar Two can be
accounted for on a period-cost basis for US GAAP and IFRS, which means that
calendar-year companies must disclose expected Pillar Two tax expense in their
2024 Q1 reporting. Get ahead of the game and prepare. Align with your financial
statement auditor and lay the foundation for data, technology and process.


TIME IS TICKING!




BELOW ARE KEY STEPS WE RECOMMEND COMPANIES TAKE BETWEEN NOW AND THE END OF
NOVEMBER:



CURRENT STATE ASSESSMENT

1. Pillar Two scope

 * Inventory your Constituent Entities
 * Review your legal entity organization chart
 * Determine which jurisdictions in your structure are adopting an IIR or QDMTT
   for 2024

2. Safe Harbor analysis

 * Get comfortable with the CbCR process and identify enhancements, as necessary
 * Determine which jurisdictions meet one of the Transitional Safe Harbors

3. Scope material jurisdictions for full GloBE computation

 * If jurisdiction is immaterial: document process for determination
 * If jurisdiction is material: perform data-mapping exercise for full
   computation

4. Data sourcing assessment

 * Evaluate 270+ data points required for full GloBE calculations to determine
   relevance and materiality
 * Identify source system and owners of data
 * Evaluate ability to access and utilize data
 * Map to and run GloBE computation

Once you have completed these checklist items, you should be in a better
position to understand the Pillar Two impact on revenues and tax expense at a
jurisdictional level. Now you’re ready to start discussions with your auditor.
Bring a point of view on how Pillar Two impacts your company and provide
high-level direction on how you will calculate and account for the new rules in
Q1 2024. Once you’ve gotten directional alignment with your auditor, you’re
ready to execute and put your plan into action.


EXECUTION

Avoid a last-minute and costly rush to establish your processes and calculations
for Pillar Two in the coming year. Taking the following actions in November
should put you on a strong footing:

1. Develop your detailed process steps for forecasting Pillar Two Tax in Q1,
AETR and 2024 budgets.

2. Implement technology or workpaper strategy and develop an approach and
supporting technology or data collection and mapping.

3. Develop processes and controls documentation for how you scoped and
calculated your Pillar Two liability (or lack thereof) and for how you are and
will continue to monitor legislative activity globally.

4. Perform mock closes or dry runs of Pillar Two calculations for your
Constituent Entities in implementing jurisdictions and document key technical
positions.

Discuss these action items with your auditor before year-end to ensure
alignment. Get their input on the operational, data, system, process and
computational frameworks you've established. Your plan will evolve, but starting
strong in Q1 is crucial for managing the workload of Pillar Two in 2024. Stay
ahead of the game and set yourself up for success.
