 established, invest or conduct business continue to recommend and implement changes related to the taxation of multinational companies. The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS (the “Inclusive Framework”), which currently includes over 145 countries and jurisdictions has proposed and driven the implementation by its participating jurisdictions of changes to numerous long-standing tax principles through its base erosion and profit shifting (“BEPS”) project, which is focused on a number of issues, including the prevention of profit shifting among affiliated entities in different jurisdictions, limitation of improper interest deductibility claims and ensuring eligibility of taxpayers claiming the benefits of double tax treaties. The BEPS project includes a two-pillar initiative, “BEPS 2.0,” which is aimed at (1) shifting taxing rights to the jurisdiction of the consumer (“Pillar One”) and (2) ensuring all companies pay a global minimum tax (“Pillar Two”). 

Pillar One will, broadly, re-allocate taxing rights over 25% of the residual profits of multinational enterprises (“MNEs”) with global turnover in excess of 20 billion euros (excluding extractives and regulated financial services) to the jurisdictions where the customers and users of those MNEs are located. While the OECD continues to seek agreement regarding the form and timing of implementation of Pillar One, no concrete proposal has yet been achieved. The form, scope and timing of measures to implement Pillar One and their impact on our business and the taxes we pay remain unclear and subject to ongoing negotiations and, therefore, we cannot currently say whether these measures have an adverse effect on our business.

Pillar Two consists of two interlocking domestic rules (together the Global Anti-Base Erosion Rules (“GloBE Rules”)): (1) an Income Inclusion Rule (“IIR”), which imposes top-up tax on a parent entity in respect of the low-taxed income of a constituent entity within that parent entity’s group; and (2) an Undertaxed Payment Rule (“UTPR”), which denies deductions or requires an equivalent adjustment to the extent the low-taxed income of a constituent entity is not subject to tax under an IIR. Pillar Two also includes a treaty-based Subject To Tax Rule that allows source jurisdictions to impose limited source taxation on certain related party payments subject to tax below a minimum rate, and a limited number of Inclusive Framework members have either signed or expressed an intention to sign a multilateral convention to implement the Subject to Tax Rule. The timeline for implementation of this Subject to Tax Rule remains uncertain.

The ultimate
