From financial years starting on or after 1 January 2025, Singapore will implement a minimum effective tax rate of 15% on the profits of large multinational enterprise groups will be imposed in line with the Pillar Two Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules. This is part of the Multinational Enterprise Top-up Tax ("MTT") and the Domestic Top-up Tax ("DTT") under Pillar Two of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS") 2.0 initiative announced in February 2024. Since then, the Multinational Enterprise (Minimum Tax) Bill ("MNE Bill") was introduced in Parliament to implement the MTT and DTT. On 4 October 2024, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore announced a public consultation titled "Consultation on the Proposed Multinational Enterprise (Minimum Tax) Regulations – GloBE Safe Harbours and Transition Rules" ("Consultation"). Our legal experts from Rajah & Tann Singapore’s Tax practice group prepared this article to provide more details on this important update, specifically with regards to the: ▪ GloBE Safe Harbours to simplify the compliance process; and ▪ Adjustments in computing adjusted covered taxes under the transition rules that will apply when an MNE group first comes within the scope of the GloBE rules (including MTT or DTT in Singapore). The Consultation will run from 4 October 2024 to 18 October 2024, and we elaborate on its details here: https://lnkd.in/gh33Sgfu 🔊 Follow us on LinkedIn to stay updated on all the latest legal updates! 🔊 Learn more about our Tax Practice Group: https://lnkd.in/g45vGfD8 Vikna Rajah: https://lnkd.in/gUxzfpAr Peter Tan: https://lnkd.in/gWQeWsEY #taxlaw #taxlawyer #tax #policy #Singapore #legalupdate #guide #legal #lawyer #law #RajahTannAsia #RTA #LawyersWhoKnowAsia #LWKA
