UK Updates: Pillar Two is Coming

Doug McHoney, PwC’s International Tax Services Global Leader, is in Barcelona, Spain at PwC’s Global Tax Symposium. On this episode, Doug is joined by Matt Ryan, a UK-based International Tax Partner with PwC. Doug and Matt discuss the UK’s parliamentary process, Liz Truss’s resignation, the corporate tax proposed changes, and Pillar Two, including a qualified domestic minimum tax, the income inclusion rule, and the under taxed payments rule. They also cover the finer points of UK’s treatment of asset transfers, deferred taxes, year-end adjustments, and the system and data requirements that companies must address.
