These include assessing the integration with current business operations, the sophistication of existing IT and tax systems, and the desired level of process automation to improve efficiency and accuracy.
As next steps, businesses must explore various technology solutions and consider the progress of Pillar Two rule adoption within their jurisdictions. This document aims to clarify some of these complexities and emphasize essential focus areas for organizations working towards effective Pillar Two compliance.
