BEPS Pillar Two is the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) reform of the international tax system. The reform is designed to prevent tax erosion and profit shifting in large multinational enterprises (MNEs) by imposing a minimum effective tax rate of 15% in every operating jurisdiction — and a top-up tax when that minimum is unmet. MNEs must adapt longstanding workflow, technology, and data management processes to determine their tax obligations while meeting reporting requirements.

BEPS Pillar Two began regional roll outs as early as January 2024, but it will soon sweep the globe. It’s positioned to go live in upwards of 142 countries in the coming years, impacting 8000+ MNEs. 

The reform carries with it much more than material impacts. Compliance with BEPS Pillar Two will significantly alter how MNEs manage global data, prepare financial statements, execute the financial close, calculate the effective tax rate, and conduct global consolidation.
