As public Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR) gains traction globally, multinational enterprises (MNEs) are increasingly called upon to enhance income tax transparency. Recent developments, including the EU's Public CbCR directive and Australia's new Public CbCR, highlight the importance of tax governance and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations. These frameworks necessitate that MNEs address both income tax compliance and reputational impacts. This session will cover:
- Global Developments: An overview of the latest developments in Public CbCR
- Australia’s Public CbCR Initiative: A brief look at Australia's new reporting measures
- First Hands-On Experience with EU Public CbCR in Romania: Insights and lessons learned for Asia-Pacific companies
- Tax Governance and ESG: Practical implications for tax governance and alignment with ESG strategies
- Virtual Podium Discussion: What are the pillars of a Public CbCR strategy in a global environment?
Join us for this session to gain practical insights and hands-on guidance on navigating the evolving landscape of Public CbCR to ensure that your organization is well-prepared to meet both regulatory and stakeholder expectations.

Putting more cash into the hands of consumers to help cope with inflation and generating more tax revenue to support the strengthening of Japan’s self-defence capabilities are two significant components of the 2025 tax reform proposals. Measures to address these objectives will impact on both corporate and individual taxpayers. Also, with Japan’s Income Inclusion Rule already in effect, Japan continues to align its tax laws with the OECD’s Global Minimum Tax regime (i.e. Pillar 2) by proposing to implement the undertaxed profit rule (“UTPR”) and qualified domestic minimum top-up tax (“QDMTT”) provisions.
In this Dbriefs webcast we’ll discuss:
- New special defence surtax and impact to Japan’s effective corporate income tax rate
- Status of Pillar 1 and 2, including the introduction of UTPR and QDMTT
- What’s next for platform taxation in Japan
