Go deeper+1 deeper insight · +1 point of attention

Taxes arising from Pillar Two legislation, including qualified domestic minimum top-up taxes, are income taxes. As a mandatory exception, the entity recognises no deferred tax for them and does not disclose information about that deferred tax. It discloses that it applies the exception, presents current tax related to Pillar Two separately and, as long as enacted legislation is not yet in effect, describes its exposure through qualitative and quantitative information.
