In today's global business landscape, volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity—collectively known as VUCA—are more pronounced than ever. The post-Covid era has dismantled traditional geopolitical guardrails, creating a more challenging trade and tax environment, including supply scarcity and a general decrease in trust. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to these changes from trade, tax and supply chain management perspectives is important for companies to remain competitive, mitigate risks and unforeseen tax costs, and ensure compliance in a rapidly evolving global landscape.

The CbCR Safe Harbor allows MNEs to reduce their obligations under global minimum tax rules, while Public CbCR requires MNEs to disclose their CbCR data to the public. Learn actionable steps that companies can take to ensure compliance with these reporting frameworks, including understanding the implications of CbCR, evaluating the CbCR Safe Harbor, preparing for Public CbCR, protecting sensitive information, and consulting with professionals.

The Transitional Country-by-Country report (CbCR) Safe Harbor under Pillar Two offers multinational enterprises (MNEs) a temporary means to reduce or eliminate top-up taxes in certain jurisdictions by meeting one of three criteria. This safe harbor, applicable for fiscal years beginning on or before December 31, 2026, helps MNEs lower compliance obligations and data requirements, provided they use Qualified Financial Statements to prepare their CbCR. Recent guidance emphasizes the importance of accurate data, consistent application, and alignment with transfer pricing policies to qualify for this safe harbor and avoid potential tax disputes.
