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. One of the most challenging and time-consuming aspects of Pillar Two is the calculation of the Globe Effective Tax Rate.

In this episode, ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Department of Professional Practice partner Nick Tricarichi is joined by Quyen Huynh, ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø Washington National Tax principal, to break down the calculation of the Globe ETR into simple terms. We explain why it’s so challenging, provide examples of major adjustments that need to be made to the financial statements, and dive into how companies are attempting to close the extensive data gap.

Lastly, we close the episode by asking Quyen to put on her coaching hat and provide some practical tips on what companies can do now to make this process more manageable.
