Global Minimum Tax Rules - Pillar Two
Numerous foreign jurisdictions have enacted or are in the process of enacting legislation to adopt a minimum effective tax rate, as described in the Global Anti-Base Erosion Model Rules (otherwise known as Pillar Two) issued by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. Under Pillar Two, a minimum effective tax rate of 15% would apply to multinational companies with consolidated revenues above €750 million. Pillar Two became effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, in several jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Upon enactment, Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements, and there was no material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
