Pillar Two

Pillar two

Meeting data and compliance requirements

The Minimum Tax Act, also known as Pillar Two, sets a minimum effective tax rate of fifteen per cent per jurisdiction. Companies with a global turnover exceeding 750 million euros fall within the scope of Pillar Two. Where the effective tax rate (ETR) in a jurisdiction is below the minimum of fifteen per cent, a top-up tax may be applied up to the minimum rate.

How PwC can help you with Pillar Two

The implementation of Pillar Two brings complex challenges. The global minimum tax requires you to adapt your systems, technology, processes, governance and controls to evolving data and compliance requirements. Get this right, and you create opportunities for growth.

We can help you to collect and transform the necessary data, calculate the impact of Pillar Two and meet your compliance obligations. To do so, we use a technology-driven end-to-end approach, with our Sightline platform and our Pillar Two Engine. Together with our global network of international tax specialists, we make the complexity manageable.

Data strategy in order

One of the first steps taxpayers must take for Pillar Two is identifying the data requirements and developing a data strategy. Collecting and consolidating data is an enormous challenge, as the data must come from many different sources under the responsibility of various stakeholders.

Early, integrated collaboration is crucial so that data and system owners are aware of the data requested under Pillar Two, its importance, and the impact of Pillar Two on their work.

PwC's experts help to:

  • identify data requirements,
  • develop a data strategy that is embedded in systems, and
  • design processes that support the reporting and compliance requirements.

The Data Input Catalog defines the required data for Pillar Two, provides you with full insight into the volume of work needed to comply and helps you to anticipate the unique challenges your business faces. PwC's Data Input Catalog is the starting point for a comprehensive data strategy, offers insight into data availability and helps to determine a modelling approach. The Data Input Catalog gives you the foundation to be ready for Pillar Two.

PwC's Pillar Two Engine

PwC's Pillar Two Engine is a structured model for assessing the impact of Pillar Two. It supports the specific application of Pillar Two rules across the globe and allows for flexibility as those rules evolve.

Various variations and interpretations of local rules require an iterative modelling process for Pillar Two calculations. PwC's Pillar Two Engine works with different data structures and sources and prioritises the most important adjustments and selections. The modelling provides calculations for compliance and for the formation of provisions. It also offers a data visualisation to identify the key areas where there is a risk of a tax charge under Pillar Two.

Our Pillar Two Engine uses a centralised database with a validated calculation that is aligned with PwC Global Tax technical and policy leaders. The database is dynamically updated with rule changes and new legislation in each jurisdiction.
