Cross border disputes and dispute resolution under OECD Pillar 1 and Pillar 2

The OECD’s two-pillar solutions are expected to reconfigure international tax rules and will likely set the tone for cross-border international tax disputes in the future. These rules are complex and create significant compliance challenges. Disputes with individual tax authorities and between tax authorities of different countries, which are bound to happen, need to be resolved, and swiftly.

What are some of the areas where disputes may arise under Pillar One and Pillar Two, and how should multinational groups anticipate them? What are the tax certainty mechanisms available under the OECD rules for Pillar One and Pillar Two for multinational groups? Where are the gaps and the stress points in these proposals for tax certainty mechanisms that multinational groups should anticipate?

Block 1: OECD Pillar One Implementation

  • Potential areas of disputes under Pillar One
  • Mechanisms for preventing and resolving disputes under Pillar One

Block 2: OECD Pillar Two Implementation
