Pillar Two: Administrative Guidance Part 5

Doug McHoney (PwC’s International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Steve Kohart, an International Tax Principal in PwC’s New York City office and former advisor to the OECD’s Center for Tax Policy and Administration. Doug and Steve discuss the OECD’s latest administrative guidance on Pillar Two, covering key changes to transition rules, deferred tax asset adjustments, tax credits, and compliance burdens for multinational corporations. They dive into the OECD’s focus on Bermuda and Switzerland, new anti-abuse measures, implications of the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT), and the complexities of the new Globe Information Return (GIR). The conversation also explores the political and procedural challenges in implementing additional guidance, particularly in light of the new US administration’s stance on Pillar Two.
