BEPS 2.0
Pillar One: Profit Allocation and Nexus
- Aligns taxing rights more closely with local market engagement and departs from using physical presence as a nexus.
- Understanding and preparing for the potential changes to profit allocation and nexus rules, including new thresholds for taxation in market jurisdictions.
Pillar Two: Global minimum tax rate and other measures
- Pillar Two is relevant for groups that have reported annual revenues of EUR 750 million or more in their consolidated financial statements in at least two of the four preceding fiscal years. If your group does not meet the threshold, you should still check – based on the ownership structure – that the group does not belong to a larger group with an obligation to consolidate (e.g. a family office, foundation, etc.).
- We help you determine pilot countries/entities for data mapping and perform an initial high-level impact calculation using the KPMG BEPS 2.0 Model if appropriate.
