IAS 12 — OECD pillar two model rules
Background
In March 2022, the OECD released technical guidance on its 15% global minimum tax agreed as the second ‘pillar’ of a project to address the tax challenges arising from digitalisation of the economy. This guidance elaborates on the application and operation of the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Rules agreed and released in December 2021 which lay out a co-ordinated system to ensure that multinational enterprises with revenues above €750 million pay tax of at least 15% on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions in which they operate. This project responds to stakeholders’ concerns about the potential implications of the imminent implementation of these rules on the accounting for income taxes.
Current status of the project
This project has been completed. The IASB issued International Tax Reform — Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12) on 23 May 2023.
