Podcast: Pillar Two pregame show - Episode 1

Podcast overview

The Pillar Two rules will go into effect at the beginning of 2024 and time is quickly running out for multinationals to determine the impact. In this episode, KPMG Department of Professional Practice partner Nick Tricarichi is joined by Marcus Heyland, KPMG Washington National Tax principal, for an engaging conversation about the new tax regime. We discuss how it works, which countries are planning on implementing in Q1, where the US stands in all of this, and who within your organization needs to be on the project team. Lastly, we close the episode by asking Marcus to put on his coaching hat and provide some practical tips on what companies should be doing now to set themselves up for success.
