Focus on potential administration issues
Focus on potential administration issues
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is undertaking a targeted consultation with significant global entities and their advisors on the implementation of the OECD global anti-base erosion (GloBE) rules under Pillar Two in Australia, with a focus on potential administration issues.
As explained in a related ATO release, for large multinational groups (with annual global revenue of €750 million or more), the proposed start dates for the 15% global minimum tax will occur over two years as follows:
- Income inclusion rule (IIR) to apply to income years starting on or after 1 January 2024
- Undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) to apply to income years starting on or after 1 January 2025
According to the ATO, the implementation of the GloBE rules will require in-scope multinational groups to:
- Provide new information to adhere to the reporting obligations under the global minimum tax and domestic minimum tax (this may require new systems)
- File a GloBE information return 18 months after the first year end (15 months for subsequent years)
