Historically, many multinational groups implemented common cross-border structures to manage their global effective tax rate and cash tax liability. As a result of U.S. and global tax reforms, many of these structures are no longer tax efficient.
In this Part 2 video, KPMG professionals Bruce Stelzner, Mark Martin, Kees Van Meel, and Tom Zollo continue to discuss U.S. and global tax developments that may have detrimentally affected certain common structures. In this video, the following key developments are examined:
- BEPS 2.0 Pillar One and Pillar Two*
- DEMPE (development, enhancement, maintenance, protection, and exploitation) rules
- CIGA (core income-generating activities) concept.
Common tax structures used by U.S. multinationals that may need reconsideration in light of these developments are also examined.
Stay tuned for additional discussions that highlight considerations companies should bear in mind when replacing or retrofitting structures that are now vulnerable due to recent (and possible future) tax legislative changes.
