Pillar Two Top-up Tax

When the Entities ETR is below the Pillar Two tax rate, the Top-up tax percentage for the Entity must be calculated. This is computed by subtracting the ETR from the Pillar Two tax rate (for example, if the ETR is 10%, the Top-up Tax percentage is equal to 15% - 10% = 5%).

Top-up Tax % = Minimum Pillar Two rate - Entities ETR

The Top-up Tax percentage is then multiplied by the total income in the jurisdiction to determine the amount of Top-up Tax.

The total income for the Entity is equal to the GloBE Income less the Substance Based Income Exclusion (that is, an excluded routine return on tangible assets and payroll).
