As we approach the financial year-end in 2023, multinational corporations (“MNEs”) must prepare a disclosure related to Pillar 2 as outlined by the IAS Board. Be ready to present something to your auditors when requested during the year-end close.
Pillar 2 represents a major shift in international taxation. It brings a complex set of new rules and takes consolidated financial reporting as its starting point. MNEs must adapt to these changes and ensure compliance with the new regulations.
Don’t be surprised when your financial auditors ask you to what extent you have made a Pillar 2 analysis. This request is driven by recent changes to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and International Accounting Standard 12 (IAS12). Based on these changes, multinational groups must prepare specific Pillar 2 disclosures for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023. These disclosures include:
- 88A: Disclosure of the application of the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
- 88B: Separate disclosure of current tax expense (income) related to Pillar Two income taxes.
- 88C: Disclosure of known or reasonably estimable information when Pillar Two legislation is enacted but not yet in effect to help financial statement users understand the entity’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation.
- 88D: Qualitative and quantitative disclosure of exposure to Pillar Two income taxes at the end of the reporting period, which can be presented as an indicative range if specific information is unavailable.
The IFRS Foundation provides examples of the information that entities can disclose to meet these requirements. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information.
