Pillar Two – Fundamentals and Practice

From 2024 onward, countries have begun implementing the OECD’s Pillar Two framework to protect their tax bases from additional levies imposed by other jurisdictions on the profits of multinational enterprises. This shift raises important practical questions for both the companies subject to top-up taxes and the governments enforcing them.

This 7-week programme offers a deep dive into the practical application of top-up taxes under the QDMTT, IIR, and UTPR. Participants will explore how these rules are expected to operate and examine some of the unexpected outcomes that may arise. Led by our leading international tax experts, the course is ideal for professionals looking to understand and apply Pillar Two rules in their tax planning.

Who should participate

Open to practitioners, in-house tax and finance directors, tax officials, accountants, lawyers, advisors, academics, and graduates in international tax law or related fields. No prior knowledge of Pillar One or Two is required.
