The GloBE Model Rules provide for the development of a standardised GloBE Information Return (GIR). The GIR contains the information a tax administration needs to perform an appropriate risk assessment and to evaluate the correctness of a Constituent Entity (CE)’s Top-up Tax liability. In particular, Article 8.1.4 of the GloBE Model Rules provides an outline of the information items to be included in the GIR. The rules also provide that this list shall be further specified, expanded or restricted in accordance with the GloBE Implementation Framework, including through the development of simplified reporting procedures. This document sets out a standard template for the GIR that incorporates the edits that have been agreed by the Inclusive Framework on BEPS (“Inclusive Framework”) in the context of Article 8.1.4.
In developing the data points and explanatory guidance that are used for the GIR, the Inclusive Framework has sought to strike a balance between providing tax administrations with the data they need to undertake adequate compliance activities, while limiting the cost of compliance for MNE Groups. In particular, the main objective of the Inclusive Framework in developing this standard template for the GIR is to ensure that the information and tax calculations that an MNE Group is required to file under the GIR are sufficiently comprehensive to allow tax administrations to perform an appropriate risk assessment and to evaluate the correctness of a CE’s tax liability under the GloBE Rules. At the same time, the Inclusive Framework has sought to avoid imposing unnecessary information collection, computation and reporting requirements on MNE Groups or exposing taxpayers to multiple, uncoordinated requests for further information in each jurisdiction that has implemented either the Income Inclusion Rule (IIR), the UTPR or both (“Implementing Jurisdiction”) or that has only implemented a QDMTT (“QDMTT-only Jurisdiction”). The agreement on a standardised information return does not preclude a tax administration from requesting necessary supporting information in follow-up requests to verify compliance with the GloBE Rules under their domestic law.
The obligation to prepare a GIR is separate from the requirement to declare and pay taxes under a tax return. The operation of tax return filing and payment obligation rules is left to the determination of each Implementing Jurisdiction and is generally expected to be in line with those currently required under that jurisdiction’s existing tax filing and payment procedures. This means that jurisdictions may, in some cases, require additional data points to be reported beyond the GIR for purposes of the preparation of the tax return (for instance, to convert the Top-up Tax liability into the domestic currency). However, jurisdictions should generally refrain from requiring the reporting of additional data points beyond the GIR as part of their routine tax return and payment requirements and any such information should relate, for instance, to liability, timing and method of payment or identification of the taxpayer and contact details, rather than the calculation of a CE’s Top-up Tax liability.
Contents of the GloBE Information Return
The GIR consists of a general section, that applies to the MNE Group as a whole, and multiple jurisdictional sections based on a single template that need to be filled in for every jurisdiction where the MNE Group is operating. Annex A1 of this document contains the GIR data points needed to calculate an MNE’s GloBE tax liability, while Annex A2 includes the accompanying explanatory guidance for these data points.
Under the general section, an MNE Group provides general information about the MNE Group as a whole, identifies the Filing Constituent Entity and outlines its corporate structure. The general section allows also the MNE Group to make an election for the SbS Safe Harbour. As part of this section, the MNE Group also reports a summary table that provides a high-level overview of the application of the GloBE Rules in respect of every jurisdiction where the MNE Group is operating. If the SbS Safe Harbour applies, however the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete the summary table (section 1.4) and certain items in the corporate structure (section 1.3).
The jurisdictional sections provide a template that shall apply for every jurisdiction where the MNE Group is operating. Firstly, a short section requires limited information disclosures in respect of jurisdictions where relevant safe harbours and exclusions apply. For jurisdictions where safe harbours and exclusions do not apply, the MNE Group would report its ETR computations, followed by Top-up Tax computations where necessary, and finally the allocation of Top-up Tax, if any. These jurisdictional sections would also be used for purposes of reporting the calculations undertaken under a Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (“QDMTT”) that meets the requirements to be considered as a Safe Harbour.
The organisation of the GIR in this manner will efficiently facilitate the analysis and exchange of GIR information (as provided under Article 8.1.2 of the GloBE Rules) while at the same time providing tax administrations with the necessary information needed to perform an appropriate risk assessment and evaluate the correctness of a CE’s Top-up Tax liability. Transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework Overview
The transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework described below allows for a simplified jurisdictional reporting framework that would apply to all Fiscal Years beginning on or before 31/12/2028 but not including a Fiscal Year that ends after 30/6/2030 (“transitional period”).
The transitional period provides time for MNE Groups to develop the accounting systems and/or processes that will facilitate information collection and reporting on a CE-by-CE basis for GloBE purposes. Upon expiration of the transitional period, in the absence of additional guidance provided by the Inclusive Framework, the simplified jurisdictional reporting framework will no longer be available for MNE Groups. It is expected that, by the end of the transitional period, in-scope MNE Groups will have built their IT and accounting systems to accommodate CE-level reporting and should therefore be in a position to report GIR information on a CE-by-CE basis in each jurisdiction, including the separate reporting of the additions and reductions for each adjustment where required.
During the first years of application of the GloBE Rules, tax administrations will apply their experience from audit and compliance activities to assess the level and quality of information obtained in the GIR and consider whether some simplifications to CE-by-CE reporting could apply on a permanent basis. Furthermore, the Inclusive Framework could also explore additional permanent safe harbours and simplifications, such as in respect of tax consolidated groups not yet covered by a reporting simplification. The reporting requirements under the GIR may need to be adapted to fit with any such changes. The Inclusive Framework will therefore need to review the design and content of the GIR on an ongoing basis to consider whether changes are needed based on these tax administration experiences, the expected improvements in accounting and IT systems and the operation of the rules. If the Inclusive Framework adopts additional reporting requirements to those set out in the current GIR, these new reporting requirements shall not apply before a reasonable period of time, as determined by the Inclusive Framework, that would allow jurisdictions to introduce the changes in their domestic legislation and MNEs to update their accounting and information systems before the Reporting Fiscal Year starts. Scope (a) Simplification available for certain jurisdictions where either no Top-up Tax arises or there is no need to allocate the Top-up Tax
During the transitional period, MNE Groups can elect for a simplified jurisdictional reporting framework for jurisdictions in respect of which: • no Top-up Tax liability arises; or • Top-up Tax liability arises but it does not need to be allocated on a CE-by-CE basis. For those jurisdictions where the MNE Group has elected the simplified jurisdictional reporting framework, the MNE Group is not required to report all adjustments to the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss (“FANIL”), current tax expense or deferred tax expense on a CE-by-CE basis (other than in respect of a few enumerated items) and the enumerated CE-by-CE adjustments can be reported on a net basis. (b) Simplification not available for jurisdictions in respect of which a Top-up Tax liability arises and needs to be allocated on a CE-by-CE basis
The transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework does not apply for jurisdictions in respect of which a Top-up Tax liability arises and needs to be allocated on a CE-by-CE basis. For these jurisdictions MNE Groups are required to report on a CE-by-CE basis all the relevant adjustments made to determine each CE’s GloBE Income or Loss and Adjusted Covered Taxes as provided in the GIR. These relevant adjustments shall separately identify the additions and reductions for each of these adjustments. These additions and reductions shall be reported in line with guidance to be agreed by the Inclusive Framework. Implications for MNE Groups
The transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework addresses a key business concern, recognizing that currently many MNE Groups do not have the information collection and reporting systems that would allow them to isolate the FANIL of each CE in each jurisdiction or to tie each GloBE adjustment back to a specific CE located in that jurisdiction. The transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework allows MNE Groups to report GloBE information at a jurisdictional level for a defined period while ensuring that the simplified jurisdictional reporting requirements do not affect the calculations required to be undertaken for GloBE purposes. When a specific Article of the GloBE Rules requires a calculation to be undertaken at the CE level, for instance, this calculation still needs to be done at the CE level even if the information is then reported in an aggregated format in the GIR.
MNE Groups that elect to report jurisdictional data during the transitional period would be expected to have: a) An accounting system that facilitates a jurisdictional approach and enables them to accurately and reliably undertake the GloBE calculations as required under the GloBE Rules, including identifying the correct location for each CE and applying the rules on a CE-by-CE basis where relevant to the GloBE ETR and Top-up Tax calculation; b) A process in place which reliably allocates accounting information to jurisdictions and ensures aggregation into the Consolidated Financial Statements; and c) A process in place to identify all GloBE-relevant adjustments in each jurisdiction on an item-byitem basis and to identify a particular item as belonging to a CE where the identity of the CE is relevant to the accuracy of the GloBE adjustment.
MNE Groups would be expected to prepare on a contemporaneous basis supporting information which would include the documentation of the process by which accounting information is allocated to each jurisdiction (and to each CE where this is needed) and aggregated in the Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the process by which the relevant adjustments are identified and calculated. In any case, the supporting workpapers or breakdown of adjustments that a tax administration could ask to provide in a follow-up request would not be required to be in a standard format. Implications for tax administrations
In addition to the information required to be provided in the GIR, it is expected that tax administrations may request further information from MNE Groups by way of follow-up requests in order to verify the accuracy of the Top-up Tax liability computations and in accordance with their usual risk assessment and compliance procedures. The transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework will not limit any rights of tax authorities to request information as part of follow-up information requests, including with respect to CE-by-CE information following review of the adjustments reported by the MNE Group. The Inclusive Framework will monitor tax administration experiences with information reporting and risk assessment under GloBE as part of a coordinated and consistent compliance framework. In particular, the Inclusive Framework will explore a possible process for co-ordinating these follow-up information requests under applicable international agreements that by their terms provide legal authority for the exchange of tax information between jurisdictions in the context of the development of the Administrative Framework for the GIR (see also below under next steps).
The GIR is a comprehensive return that contains the information on the tax calculations made by the MNE Group to determine their Top-up Tax liability or to justify the absence of such a liability. All Implementing Jurisdictions will not use the information for the same purpose and may not need all of the information filed as part of the GIR to administer their GloBE Rules. For instance, an MNE Group with Parent Entities located in Implementing Jurisdictions may only have a Top-up Tax liability in a limited number of jurisdictions and the calculation and allocation of the Top-up Tax liability in each Implementing Jurisdiction will differ depending on the MNE Group’s structure and the requirements of rule order.
The Inclusive Framework has categorised the information to be made available to each Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction on the basis of the CEs located in such jurisdiction and the MNE Group structure (see below). In addition, the Inclusive Framework has considered the implications of the MNE Group filing its GIR with each tax administration (“local filing”) or with a single tax administration which exchanges the GIR with other tax administrations under a Qualifying Competent Authority Agreement (“central filing”). In those cases where an Implementing Jurisdiction cannot rely on the central filing and exchange mechanism, local filing may be required. Given that the GIR is in a standardised format, an MNE Group would provide the same information to a tax administration regardless of whether the GIR is filed centrally and subsequently exchanged or filed locally. To achieve this outcome, jurisdictions imposing local filing would not require a Constituent Entity to report information that is different from what they would receive pursuant to exchange of information. The Inclusive Framework will consider developing guidance to provide further details on how the dissemination approach will apply in practice.
Building on these considerations, the Inclusive Framework has adopted the following dissemination approach for purposes of the GIR that applies a targeted approach for each MNE Group, whereby: • The jurisdiction of the UPE is provided with the GIR as a whole; • Jurisdictions with taxing rights under the GloBE Rules are provided with the sections of the GIR that relate to the ETR and Top-up Tax computation, allocation and attribution for those jurisdictions in respect of which they have taxing rights (including jurisdictions that have introduced a QDMTT); and • All Implementing Jurisdictions where CEs of the MNE Group are located are provided with general information and the corporate structure, which covers all the data points necessary to verify whether they have any taxing rights over any other jurisdiction under the GloBE Rules.
The GIR for an MNE Group will include GloBE calculations for all jurisdictions in which the MNE Group has CEs, including those jurisdictions that have not adopted the GloBE Rules. The dissemination approach set out below ensures that information on these calculations is made available to Implementing Jurisdictions with taxing rights under the GloBE Rules. It does not, however, consider the position of nonimplementing jurisdictions in respect of the receipt or exchange of GIR information. The treatment of such jurisdictions will be considered further by the Inclusive Framework as part of the administrative framework.
The information to be disseminated to Implementing Jurisdictions or QDMTT-only Jurisdictions under this approach is described in further detail below. For purposes of operationalising the dissemination approach, the MNE Group shall identify the categories in which each Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTTonly Jurisdiction where it has CEs falls, as well as the relevant sections and data points of the GIR which shall be provided to each Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction. The tax administration with which the GIR is filed centrally will use the MNE Group’s designations as the basis for disseminating the GIR information. However, the MNE Group may also opt for the whole GIR to be exchanged with all Implementing Jurisdictions or QDMTT-only Jurisdictions where it has CEs. The Inclusive Framework may also consider developing guidance on the role of the central filing tax administration and how the dissemination of GloBE Information shall be performed to facilitate further coordination and consistent application of the GloBE Rules. Jurisdiction of UPE
As further explained below, where the UPE Jurisdiction is an Implementing Jurisdiction, it will usually need all of the GIR data points to assess the application of the rules across the MNE Group, given that the IIR applies primarily at the UPE level. In addition, it is expected that the UPE jurisdiction has specific information collection mechanisms that could allow its tax administration to access the information provided in the GIR in respect of other jurisdictions. Therefore, the UPE Jurisdiction would be provided with the whole GIR under the dissemination approach. Jurisdictions with taxing rights under GloBE rule order
Jurisdictions with taxing rights under the GloBE Rules are those where the MNE Group is not only subject to the GloBE Rules but is also required to apply the GloBE Rules in accordance with the rule order. Those jurisdictions also include QDMTT jurisdictions. Those jurisdictions need to be able to verify the accuracy of the calculations undertaken by the MNE Group and of the Top-up Tax liability arising in their jurisdiction. Therefore, those jurisdictions are provided with the information necessary to compute the ETR and Top-up Tax, including its allocation and attribution among Implementing Jurisdictions as provided under Article 8.1.4(c), for those jurisdictions in respect of which they have taxing rights. Implementing Jurisdictions where the MNE has CEs are provided with the general information and corporate structure of the MNE Group. Under certain conditions, a QDMTT-only Jurisdiction is provided with the General Section (i.e. Section 1 of the GloBE Information Return), with the exception of Section 1.4 providing the high-level summary of GloBE information. These conditions are met when (i) Constituent Entities of the MNE Group are located in the QDMTT jurisdiction, (ii) a Joint Venture or a member of a JV Group of the MNE Group is located in the QDMTT jurisdiction and the QDMTT is imposed in respect of Joint Ventures located in this jurisdiction, or (iii) the QDMTT is imposed in respect of a Stateless Constituent Entity or Stateless Joint Venture of the MNE Group.
An Implementing Jurisdiction has taxing rights in respect of another where, under the rule order provided in the GloBE Rules, the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax computed in respect of the latter jurisdiction would result in a Top-up Tax liability due under the charging provisions in the former jurisdiction, even if no Top-up Tax liability actually arises (e.g. because the ETR of the latter jurisdiction is above the Minimum Rate). Whether an Implementing Jurisdiction has taxing rights under the GloBE Rules in respect of another will therefore depend on the rules applicable in other jurisdictions where the MNE Group has CEs and whether such rules are recognised as being qualified. This is because the rule order only applies when jurisdictions have qualified rules as defined under the GloBE Rules.
An Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction may have Top-up taxing rights in respect of itself. This is the case when a jurisdiction applies an Income Inclusion Rule or a QDMTT to domestic entities. A jurisdiction with a QDMTT (including where the QDMTT is eligible for the QDMTT Safe Harbour) is considered as having taxing rights in respect of its own jurisdiction and therefore provided with the Jurisdictional Section in respect of its own jurisdiction when the QDMTT can be imposed on Constituent Entities or Joint Ventures or members of a JV Group of the MNE Group. Furthermore, a QDMTT jurisdiction is provided with Section 3 of the GIR for the Stateless Constituent Entity that is selected in 3.1.2 when the QDMTT is imposed in respect of that Stateless Constituent Entity. The Inclusive Framework will consider providing guidance on the taxing rights arising in respect of a QDMTT Safe Harbour jurisdiction, as well as the taxing rights arising in respect of a Stateless Constituent Entity or Stateless Joint Venture that is subject to a jurisdiction’s QDMTT that is eligible for the QDMTT Safe Harbour.
Several Implementing Jurisdictions may have taxing rights in respect of the same jurisdiction. This may be the case, for instance, when both the UPE and a Partially-Owned Parent Entity (POPE) are required to apply the IIR in respect of a CE located in a third jurisdiction. In that case, both the UPE Jurisdiction and the POPE jurisdiction have taxing rights and an offsetting mechanism applies to avoid double taxation under Article 2.3. Equally, UTPR Jurisdictions would all have taxing rights in respect of the jurisdictions for which the Top-up Tax is not reduced to zero under Article 2.5 (rule order). As mentioned above, UTPR Jurisdictions would be considered as having taxing rights in respect of those other jurisdictions even if no Top-up Tax actually arises in respect of those jurisdictions. However, UTPR Jurisdictions with a UTPR Percentage of zero are only provided with the excerpt of Section 3.4.3 of the GIR that contains information on the attribution of Top-up Tax under the UTPR in respect of that jurisdiction.
An Implementing Jurisdiction may also have taxing rights in respect of part of the operations of an MNE Group only. For instance, a POPE may hold an Ownership Interest in a single other CE and its taxing rights would be limited to the jurisdiction where that CE is located. In those situations where some entities are excluded from the MNE Group’s ETR and Net GloBE Income (e.g., Minority-Owned Constituent Entities), the taxing rights would be determined in connection with each subgroup or entity for which a separate Top-up Tax calculation would apply. All implementing jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions
All Implementing Jurisdictions or QDMTT-only Jurisdictions where the MNE Group has CEs that are subject to the rules need to assess whether the MNE Group is required to apply the rules in their jurisdictions and verify whether they would have been the only jurisdiction with taxing rights on the basis of the applicable rules and the corporate structure of the MNE Group. Therefore, in addition to the general information relating to the identification of the MNE Group and the Reporting Fiscal Year covered by the GIR, the corporate structure is provided to every Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction where the MNE Group has CEs.
The corporate structure included in the GIR provides information on the ownership structure of each CE of the MNE Group, as well as the rules applicable in each jurisdiction and the status of each CE under the GloBE Rules (e.g., POPE, Excluded Entity, etc). This information allows every Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction to assess whether they have taxing rights in respect of every CE and member of a JV Group of the MNE Group. Jurisdictions with taxing rights in respect of another jurisdiction will use the corporate structure not only to assess whether they have such rights but also in order to verify the application of the jurisdictional blending and allocation of income and taxes from one CE to another.
In addition to the general information relating to the identification of the MNE Group and the corporate structure, all Implementing Jurisdictions where the MNE Group has CEs are also provided with high-level information designed to provide an overview of the application of the GloBE Rules in respect of the MNE Group. This high-level information allows all Implementing Jurisdictions to identify the range in which the ETR calculated for each jurisdiction falls (broken down into 2.5% increments for ETRs from 0% up to 30%, and otherwise reported as above 30%); and if the ETR was not computed in respect of a jurisdiction, on which exception the MNE Group has relied (e.g., safe harbour or de minimis exclusion). This high level information also includes an indication of those jurisdictions where the MNE Group has no Excess Profit because the Substance-based Income Exclusion exceeded the Net GloBE Income of the jurisdiction and a disclosure of the magnitude of the amounts of Top-up Tax payable under each of the QDMTT and the GloBE Rules in respect of each jurisdiction, shown on a scale that indicates either no Top-up Tax payable or, if payable, amounts below EUR 1 million, below EUR 5 million, below EUR 25 million, below EUR 50 million, below EUR 75 million, below EUR 100 million, below EUR 250 million and at or above EUR 250 million. This high-level information, however, is not provided to QDMTT-only Jurisdictions and it is not required in the GIR if the SbS Safe Harbour applies.
Finally, the reporting of aggregated GIR data and QDMTT data on an anonymised basis will be considered as part of the peer review and monitoring process to be developed by the Inclusive Framework. Information collected could relate, for instance, to GloBE Income, Adjusted Covered Taxes, Qualified Tax Incentives, Qualified Refundable Tax Credits, Non-Qualified Refundable Tax Credits, Marketable Transferable Tax Credits, Non-Marketable Transferable Tax Credits, ETR, the Substance-based Income Exclusion, as well as Top-up Taxes. The monitoring process would also provide visibility over whether any benefits are provided by jurisdictions that are related to the GloBE Rules or the QDMTT. This will be considered in addition to developing other mechanisms to facilitate ongoing monitoring to ensure jurisdictions are applying and administering the GloBE Rules in a manner consistent with the outcomes provided for under the GloBE Rules and pursuant guidance.
Under Article 8.1.1 of the GloBE Rules, each Constituent Entity located in an Implementing Jurisdiction shall file the GloBE Information Return (GIR) with the tax administration in the local jurisdiction. However, to ease the compliance burden placed on MNE Groups, a Constituent Entity is not obligated to file a GIR with the local tax administration if a GIR conforming to the requirements of Articles 8.1.4 to 8.1.6 is filed by an Ultimate Parent Entity (UPE) or a Designated Filing Entity (DFE) that has a Qualifying Competent Authority Agreement (QCAA) in effect with the local jurisdiction (as of the GIR filing deadline of the local jurisdiction) for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
The exchange of the GIR under a QCAA is expected to occur three months after the filing deadline of the GIR in the UPE or DFE jurisdiction. If a GIR is not being filed locally, the Constituent Entity will notify the tax administration from which jurisdiction it will receive the GIR under a QCAA. Article 8.1.3 serves this purpose; it requires that a Constituent Entity or the Designated Local Entity notify the tax administration the identity of the Entity that will be filing the GIR and the jurisdiction in which it is located. Therefore, every Implementing Jurisdiction or QDMTT-only Jurisdiction that may receive the GIR through an active exchange relationship under a QCAA could develop notification requirements for purposes of Article 8.1.3. Annex B lays out the merits and content of a standard Article 8.1.3 notification template that Implementing Jurisdictions or QDMTT-only Jurisdictions could use for this purpose.
The penalty relief described in Annex C is designed to provide transitional relief for MNE groups in the initial years during which the GloBE Rules come into effect. It reflects a common understanding amongst Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions on the necessity to provide relief to taxpayers in those cases where an MNE has taken reasonable measures to ensure the correct application of the GloBE Rules and the QDMTT.
A common understanding on penalty relief is intended to provide MNEs (and those responsible for managing its tax compliance obligations) with a “soft-landing” during the initial years in which the rules are being introduced. This soft landing will allow MNEs and tax administrations to familiarize themselves with the rules and develop the data collection and the reporting and compliance systems to comply with the new rules without the risk of being penalised for making reasonable mistakes.
35.1 Following its initial release in 2023, the Inclusive Framework published an updated version of the GIR on 15 January 2025 that incorporated clarifications on how to complete the GIR, reflected the Administrative Guidance released in December 2023 and June 2024 and included a template that could be used to notify jurisdictions that they will receive the GIR through exchange.
As mentioned above, the requirement for each CE to file a GIR with each tax administration is removed when the UPE or a Designated Filing Entity files the GIR with the tax administration of the jurisdiction where it is located and there is a Qualifying Competent Authority Agreement in effect by the filing deadline to exchange GloBE information with the jurisdiction of the CE. Input received in the last public consultation on the GloBE Implementation Framework indicated strong support for a single point of filing followed by the exchange of GloBE information between tax administrations. These centralised filing requirements and the appropriate mechanisms to allow tax administrations to automatically exchange GloBE information collected will be supported by a framework of Qualifying (bilateral or multilateral) Competent Authority Agreements and IT-solutions to support the exchange of information. For that purpose, a Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement and a dedicated XML Schema have now been developed and the Inclusive Framework will consider providing guidance on the appointment of a Designated Filing Entity. 36.1 On 11 September 2026, the Inclusive Framework released a revised version of the GIR that incorporates the Side-by-Side Package released on 5 January 2026. In light of the agreement on the Sideby-Side package, the revised version of the GIR shall only be used for the filing of GIRs with respect to Fiscal Years commencing on or after 31 December 2025. Against that background, and to prevent issues in the automated exchange of GIR information, the new version of the XML Schema (which is expected to be released soon) shall not be used before the cut-off date that will be set out in the accompanying user guide for tax administrations, but it shall be used for the filing and exchange of any GIR information on or after the cut-off date (including amendments and corrections). The cut-off date will be determined to ensure that: (i) as far as possible, any initial GIR filing and exchange for a Reporting Fiscal Year commencing before 31 December 2025 is made using the version of the XML Schema released on 15 January 2025, and therefore not by using the updated version of the XML Schema; and (ii) and any initial GIR filing and exchange for a Reporting Fiscal Year commencing on or after 31 December 2025 is made using the updated version of the XML Schema. The revised version of the GIR, however, also includes new notes in the Explanatory Guidance that do not relate to the SbS package and provide further clarifications on how some existing data points of the GIR (i.e. data points that were already included in the GIR as published on 15 January 2025) shall be completed. The Filing Constituent Entity shall follow those notes for the filing of any GIR, including a GIR that is filed for a Reporting Fiscal Year commencing before 31 December 2025.
The Inclusive Framework will also explore the possibility of developing other administrative mechanisms to facilitate further coordination and consistent application of the GloBE Rules. For instance, work could be undertaken to develop a coordinated framework for further information requests in respect of risks identified based on the information in the GIR. Equally, Implementing Jurisdictions could conduct coordinated risk assessment activities on the basis of the information provided in the GIR in order to determine whether further actions such as a tax audit are required.

This guidance follows the same outline as Annex A1 which identifies the data points. It provides clarifications on the information that is identified in the tables provided in Annex A1. The clarifications may include possible options for such information.
The numbering of the notes in the guidance also follows the outline of the tables in Annex A1. In particular, each note is numbered after the section in which the table is found, with an additional reference to the column(s) and/or the row(s) to which it refers. For example, Note 3.2.1.2.1 refers to row 1 of the table provided in Section 3.2.1.2 of Annex A1.
The GloBE Information Return and the Explanatory Notes shall not be construed as a modification or an interpretation of the GloBE Model Rules or the Commentary (as amended by any Administrative Guidance). The terms used in the GloBE Information Return and in the Explanatory Notes are defined in the GloBE Model Rules and in the Commentary.
In almost all cases, the amounts to be reported in the GloBE Information Return are positive amounts, even when they relate to expenses, reductions or other items that are deducted from another amount. In exceptional cases, however, the Filing Constituent Entity may report a negative amount. If that is the case, this number should be reported in brackets.
The requirement for each CE to file a GIR with each tax administration is removed when the UPE or a Designated Filing Entity files the GIR with the tax administration of the jurisdiction where it is located and there is a Qualifying Competent Authority Agreement in effect to exchange GloBE information with the jurisdiction of the CE by the filing deadline.
Jurisdictions that have implemented a QDMTT would use equivalent datapoints to those provided in the GloBE Information Return. More specifically, jurisdictions that have implemented a QDMTT that is eligible for the QDMTT Safe Harbour will follow the approach set out in the GloBE Information Return for information collection and reporting purposes (including the simplified jurisdictional reporting framework, unless the jurisdiction chooses not to apply that framework in line with paragraph 51 of the QDMTT Safe Harbour document). As an exception, however, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete Section 3.4 of the GIR unless the QDMTT legislation allocates the QDMTT among Constituent Entities based on their GloBE Income.
Following the approach set out in the GloBE Information Return does not mean that the QDMTT jurisdiction is required to enter into exchange of information agreements and rely on the information that is filed in other jurisdictions. The QDMTT Safe Harbour jurisdiction would be considered using the GIR when it collects the same information in the same format.
MNE Groups shall complete the data points in the GIR based on the Model Rules and Commentary. However, where a single jurisdiction has taxing rights under the GloBE Rules or where a QDMTT Safe Harbour applies with respect to a jurisdiction or subgroup reported in Section 1.4, Section 2 or Section 3 of the GIR, those sections of the GIR should be completed based on the domestic legislation of the jurisdiction with those taxing rights.
The MNE Group Information section contains general information on the MNE Group as a whole. It identifies both the Filing Constituent Entity and the MNE Group, provides general accounting information on the Reporting Fiscal Year and the Consolidated Financial Statements of the UPE, contains information on the corporate structure of the group, the election for the SbS Safe Harbour, as well as a summary table providing high-level visibility on the application of the rules.
The summary table allows all Implementing Jurisdictions (i.e. jurisdictions that have introduced either the IIR, the UTPR or both) to identify the range in which the ETR calculated for each jurisdiction falls (broken down into 2.5% increments for ETRs from 0% up to 30%, and otherwise reported as above 30%); and if the ETR was not computed in respect of a jurisdiction, on which exception the MNE has relied (e.g., safe harbour or de minimis exclusion). This high-level information also includes an indication of those jurisdictions where the MNE has no Excess Profit because the Substance-based Income Exclusion exceeded the Net GloBE Income of the jurisdiction and a disclosure of the magnitude of the amounts of Top-up Tax payable under QDMTT and GloBE Rules in respect of each jurisdiction, shown on a scale that indicates either no Top-up Tax payable or, if payable, amounts below EUR 1 million, below EUR 5 million, below EUR 25 million, below EUR 50 million, below EUR 75 million, below EUR 100 million, below EUR 250 million and at or above EUR 250 million.
The Filing Constituent Entity shall file the MNE Group Information section with the tax administration of each jurisdiction where one or more Constituent Entities of the MNE Group are located, but the Filing Constituent Entity is not required to complete the summary table and certain items in Section 1.3 if the SbS Safe Harbour applies. The Filing Constituent Entity shall file the MNE Group Information section (with the exception of the high-level summary of GloBE information in Section 1.4) with the tax administration of a QDMTT-only Jurisdiction:
(i) where Constituent Entities of the MNE Group are located;
(ii) where a Joint Venture or a member of a JV Group of the MNE Group is located if the QDMTT is imposed in respect of Joint Ventures located in the jurisdiction; or
(iii) in situations where the QDMTT is imposed in the jurisdiction in respect of a Stateless Constituent Entity or a Stateless Joint Venture of the MNE Group.
Note 1.1.1 and 1.1.2: the Filing Constituent Entity is the one that files this GloBE Information Return. If multiple Filing Constituent Entities file the GloBE Information Return, each of them shall file a separate GloBE Information Return.
Note 1.1.2, 1.1.3, 1.1.4 and 1.1.5: these columns shall not be completed if the Filing Constituent Entity is the UPE.
Note 1.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify its TIN used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the Filing Jurisdiction or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service (i.e. an electronic process made available by the jurisdiction of tax residence of the Constituent Entity, Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary for the purposes of ascertaining the identity and tax residence of such entity). Note 1.1.4: the relevant option shall be selected: • Designated Filing Entity • Designated Local Entity • Constituent Entity
Note 1.1.5: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction where it is located.
Note 1.1.6: the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify the jurisdictions in which filing obligations of Constituent Entities are intended to be met through exchange of information under Article 8.1.2.
1.2.1. MNE Group and Reporting Fiscal Year
Note 1.2.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the name of the MNE Group that is commonly used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Note 1.2.1.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the start date of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.2.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the end date of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.2.1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “Yes” if the GloBE Information Return being filed is an amended return.
1.2.2. MNE General accounting information
Note 1.2.2.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant subparagraph (a), (b), (c), (d) of the definition of Consolidated Financial Statements in Article 10 that applies to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the UPE. When letter (d) applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall use reasonable diligence and good faith efforts for purposes of the identification of the UPE.
Note 1.2.2.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Financial Accounting Standard that is used for the Consolidated Financial Statements of the UPE. If the UPE does not prepare Consolidated Financial Statements, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Authorised Financial Accounting Standard that is used for purposes of the GloBE Rules.
Note 1.2.2.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the ISO code of the currency that is used for the Consolidated Financial Statements of the UPE. If the UPE does not prepare Consolidated Financial Statements, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the ISO code of the currency that is used for purposes of the GloBE Rules.
The corporate structure information is relevant for purposes of applying the GloBE Rules and identifying which Constituent Entities could be subject to the GloBE Rules and required to pay Top-up Tax (if any) under the GloBE Rules. This section provides information on the UPE in table 1.3.1 as well as information on the corporate structure of the Constituent Entities and members of JV Groups (table 1.3.2.1). Table 1.3.2.2 requires the identification of all Excluded Entities and the reason why they are excluded. Table 1.3.3 requires the reporting of all changes to the corporate structure of Constituent Entities (or other Entities of the MNE Group) and members of JV Groups occurred during the Reporting Fiscal Year.
1.3.1. Ultimate Parent Entity
Note 1.3.1: the information in the table shall be reported as of last day of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.3.1: if the MNE Group is a Multi-Parented MNE Group, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete this table for each UPE. Note 1.3.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction where the UPE is located for GloBE purposes. Note 1.3.1.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report whether the UPE jurisdiction has a QIIR, QUTPR and/or QDMTT in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year. The relevant option(s) shall be selected: (i) QIIR applicable to Low-Taxed Constituent Entities located in other jurisdictions only; (ii) QIIR applicable to both Low-Taxed Constituent Entities located in other jurisdictions and in the jurisdiction of the Parent Entity; (iii) QUTPR; (iv) QDMTT; (v) Qualified SbS Regime; (vi) Qualified UPE Regime. If more than one option is relevant, the Filing Constituent Entity shall select all relevant options. Note 1.3.1.1 and 1.3.1.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete columns 1.3.1.1 and 1.3.1.2 if the UPE is an Excluded Entity. However, if an election is made for the SbS Safe Harbour or the UPE Safe Harbour, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete these columns even if the UPE is an Excluded Entity. Note 1.3.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the name of the UPE.
Note 1.3.1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the UPE used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the UPE is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service.
Note 1.3.1.5: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or a functional equivalent, such as a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service), if any, issued to the UPE by the jurisdiction where filing takes place (“the Filing Jurisdiction”).
Note 1.3.1.6: the Filing Constituent Entity can only make an election for the SbS Safe Harbour if the jurisdiction reported in row 1.3.1.1 is listed in the Central Record as a jurisdiction with a Qualified SbS Regime for the Reporting Fiscal Year. If the SbS Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete Section 1.4 and certain items in Section 1.3. The Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete the relevant tables in Section 2 or Section 3 with respect to jurisdictions that have a QDMTT in effect for the Reporting Fiscal Year. See other notes in Section 1.3 for guidance on the information that is reported within this Section where the SbS Safe Harbour applies. Note 1.3.1.7 to 1.3.1.9: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows if an election for the SbS Safe Harbour is made in row 1.3.1.6.
Note. 1.3.1.7: the relevant option(s) shall be selected: Constituent Entity • Flow-Through Entity – Tax Transparent • Flow-Through Entity – Reverse Hybrid • Hybrid Entity • Main Entity • Investment Entity • Insurance Investment Entity • Excluded Entity.

The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete table 1.3.2.1 separately with respect to Constituent Entity-owners (if any) for which the status of the Constituent Entity, Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary is different from the status reported in 1.3.2.1.7 (e.g. if a Flow-through Entity is treated as a Tax Transparent Entity by one of its Constituent Entity owners and a Reverse Hybrid Entity by the other, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete table 1.3.2.1 twice for the same Flow-Through Entity: once with respect to the owner that treats the Flow-through Entity as a Tax Transparent Entity and another time with respect the owner that treats it as a Reverse Hybrid Entity).
If the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies:
(a) The Filing Constituent Entity shall select the relevant option(s) for: (i) an Entity that is located in a jurisdiction that has a QDMTT in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year; or (ii) a Stateless Entity that was created in a jurisdiction that has a QDMTT that applies to Stateless Entities in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
(b) If the Entity is not described in paragraph (a) above, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not select any option(s), except that, if one or more (direct or, if owned through a chain of Hybrid Entities or Tax Transparent Entities, indirect) Constituent Entity-owner(s) of the Entity are located in a Jurisdiction that has a QDMTT in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall select (if applicable) the option of Hybrid Entity, Flow-Through Entity – Tax Transparent or Flow-Through Entity – Reverse Hybrid.
Note 1.3.2.1.8: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the type of Entity that holds direct Ownership Interests in the Constituent Entity or member of a JV Group or indirect Ownership Interests in the Constituent Entity or member of a JV Group through Excluded Entities or non-Group members. The relevant option shall be selected (only one applicable): • UPE • Constituent Entities • Joint Ventures • JV Subsidiaries • Excluded Entities (aggregate) • Non-Group members (aggregate). “Excluded Entities (aggregate)” and “Non-Group members (aggregate)” are reported in the aggregate. Non-Group members are Entities that are not Group Entities or members of a JV Group.
Note 1.3.2.1.9: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service) of the Constituent Entities, JVs or JV Subsidiaries that hold Ownership Interests in the Constituent Entity, JV or JV Subsidiary. No TIN shall be reported for Excluded Entities that are not the UPE and non-Group members as they are reported in the aggregate (i.e., “Excluded Entities (aggregate)” and “Non-Group members (aggregate)”.
Note 1.3.2.1.10: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report (in percentage) the Ownership Interests directly held in the Constituent Entity, JV or JV Subsidiary by the Constituent Entities, JV, JV subsidiaries, Excluded Entities and non-Group members identified in 1.3.2.1.8. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report Ownership Interests held by non-Group members in the aggregate. When several Excluded Entities hold direct Ownership Interest in a Constituent Entity, JV or JV Subsidiary, the aggregate amount held by all Excluded Entities shall be reported. When a Group Entity, Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary holds indirect Ownership Interest in a Constituent Entity, Joint Venture or JV subsidiary through one or more Excluded Entities or through non-Group members, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report, in addition to any Ownership Interest that this Group Entity, Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary holds directly, the Ownership Interests that it holds indirectly through Excluded Entities or non-Group members. To avoid double counting, in this case, the Ownership Interests directly held in the Constituent Entity, Joint Venture or JV subsidiary by such Excluded Entities or non-Group members taken into account in computing that Group Entity’s Ownership Interest shall not be reported separately. If the Constituent Entity is a Permanent Establishment, the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify the Main Entity in 1.3.2.1.8 and report 100% in 1.3.2.1.10.
Note 1.3.2.1.11 to 1.3.2.1.13: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows if the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies.
Note 1.3.2.1.11 to 1.3.2.1.13: this information shall only be reported in respect of the CE if a QIIR applies in the jurisdiction where the CE is located and if the CE is a POPE or an Intermediate Parent Entity. This information shall not be reported in respect of members of JV Groups or Entities that do not own any Ownership Interest (direct or indirect) in another CE as those Group Entities are not potential Parent Entities.
Note 1.3.2.1.11: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the type of Parent Entity that applies. The relevant option shall be selected (if any): • POPE • Intermediate Parent Entity • Parent Entity required to apply a QIIR under Art. 10.3.5. Pursuant to the definition of the Partially-Owned Parent Entity, the Parent Entity is a Partially-Owned Parent Entity if it has more than 20% of the Ownership Interests in its profits held (directly or indirectly) by persons that are not Constituent Entities of the MNE Group and if it owns (directly or indirectly) an Ownership Interest in another Constituent Entity of the same MNE Group.
Note 1.3.2.1.12: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN used for Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the other Intermediate Parent Entity is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service.
Note 1.3.2.1.13: pursuant to Article 2.1.5, a POPE is not required to apply the IIR if it is wholly owned (directly or indirectly) by another POPE that is required to apply a Qualified IIR for the Reporting Fiscal Year. If the exception in Article 2.1.5 applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN used for Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the other Partially-Owned Parent Entity is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service.
Note 1.3.2.1.14 to 1.3.2.1.16: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows in cases where no jurisdiction has taxing rights under the UTPR with respect to the jurisdiction where the Constituent Entity is located, where the UTPR Safe Harbour or the UPE Safe Harbour applies with respect to that jurisdiction, or where the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies.
Note 1.3.2.1.14: if the answer is “Yes”, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete rows 1.3.2.1.15 and 1.3.2.1.16.
Note 1.3.2.1.15: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate Ownership Interests in percentage over the total of Ownership Interests held in that Constituent Entity. The aggregate (direct and indirect) Ownership Interests of Parent Entities required to apply a QIIR is the sum of the Ownership Interests held by each Parent Entity that is required to apply a QIIR with respect to the Low-Taxed Constituent Entities. The aggregate amount shall be zero if no Parent Entity is required to apply a QIIR in respect of the low-taxed income of the Low-Taxed Constituent Entity. If a Parent Entity that owns an Ownership Interest in a Low-Taxed Constituent Entity indirectly through an Intermediate Parent Entity or a Partially-Owned Parent Entity that is not eligible for an exclusion from the IIR under Article 2.1.3 or 2.1.5 is required to apply the IIR, the relevant Ownership Interests shall be counted only once for purposes of computing the aggregate amount.
Note 1.3.2.1.15: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate Allocable Share of Top-up Taxes of the member of the JV Group in percentage over the total amount of Top-up Tax for that member of a JV Group. The aggregate Allocable Share of Top-up Taxes of Parent Entities required to apply a QIIR is the sum of the Allocable Share of Top-up Taxes of each Parent Entity that is required to apply a QIIR with respect to the Low-Taxed Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary. The aggregate amount shall be zero if no Parent Entity is required to apply a QIIR in respect of the low-taxed income of the Joint Venture or JV Subsidiary. If a Parent Entity holds an Ownership Interest in a Low-Taxed Joint Venture or JV subsidiary indirectly through another other Parent Entity that is required to apply the IIR, the Allocable Share of Top-up Taxes shall be counted only once for purposes of computing the aggregate amount.
Note 1.3.2.1.16: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report whether the UPE’s Ownership Interests in the CE are held directly or indirectly by Parent Entities required to apply a QIIR in that CE (or whether the aggregate Allocable Shares of Top-up Taxes of Parent Entities required to apply a QIIR for the member of JV Group reduces to zero the JV Group Top-up Tax).
Note 1.3.2.1.15 and 1.3.2.1.16: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows in cases where the UPE is required to apply a QIIR with respect to the relevant Constituent Entities (which could include Constituent Entities located in the UPE jurisdiction). In all other cases, the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete these rows when a Parent Entity required to apply a QIIR with respect to a Constituent Entity holds an Ownership Interest lower than 100% in that Constituent Entity.
1.3.2.2. Excluded Entities
Note 1.3.2.2: if the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this table with respect to Excluded Entities located in a jurisdiction that has a QDMTT in effect for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.3.2.2 the information reported in the table shall be reported for each Excluded Entity as of last day of the Reporting Fiscal Year. An Excluded Entity is a Group Entity that is defined in Article 1.5.1 or Article 1.5.2. Note 1.3.2.2.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “No” if the information reported in 1.3.2.1.3, 1.3.2.2.2 and 1.3.2.2.3 of the GIR filed for the preceding Reporting Fiscal Year is still valid and complete for the Reporting Fiscal Year. If the answer is No, The Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete 1.3.2.2.2 and 1.3.2.2.3. If the answer is Yes, The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete 1.3.2.2.2 and 1.3.2.2.3 with respect to all Excluded Entities.
Note 1.3.2.2.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify the name of each Excluded Entity.
Note 1.3.2.2.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the type of each Excluded Entity. The relevant option shall be selected (only one applicable): • Governmental Entity • International Organisation • Nonprofit Organisation • Pension Fund • Investment Fund that is an UPE • Real Estate Investment Vehicle that is an UPE • Entity owned by Excluded Entities under Article 1.5.2 (a) • Entity owned by Excluded Entities under Article 1.5.2 (b).
1.3.3. Changes in the corporate structure that occurred during the Reporting Fiscal Year
Note 1.3.3.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “Yes” if any changes occurred during the Reporting Fiscal Year were not reported in table 1.3.3 because they did not affect the ETR computation , the Top-up Tax computation or the allocation of Top-up Tax at any time during the Reporting Fiscal Year (e.g. where a Constituent Entity that was not involved in any cross-border allocation of income or taxes was directly and wholly-owned by the UPE prior to the change and it is transferred to another Constituent Entity that is directly and wholly-owned by the UPE).
Note 1.3.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete the table if no Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group was subject to changes during the Reporting Fiscal Year. The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete these table only with respect to changes that at any time during the Reporting Fiscal Year affected the ETR computation (e.g., for Constituent Entities involved in the crossborder allocation of income or taxes) or the computation or allocation of Top-up Tax (e.g., the extent to which the IIR applies to a Constituent Entity). If the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete columns 1.3.3.1 to 1.3.3.8 with respect to: (i) changes that affected the status of the Entity for GloBE purposes as reported in 1.3.2.1.7 (if any); or (ii) changes that caused the Entity to become subject to, or cease to be subject to, a QDMTT.
Note 1.3.3.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report all Constituent Entities (or other Entity of the MNE Group, e.g., Excluded Entities) or members of JV Groups that were subject to changes in their ownership structure or in their status during the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.3.3.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service.
Note 1.3.3.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the effective date (using dd-mm-yyyy format) of any changes in the ownership structure or any changes in the status of the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group. If a Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or a member of a JV Group was subject to more than one change during the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete a separate row for each of such changes.
Note 1.3.3.4 and 1.3.3.5: If the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies:
(a) The Filing Constituent Entity shall select the relevant option(s) for: (i) an Entity that is located in a jurisdiction that has a QDMTT in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year; or (ii) a Stateless Entity that was created in a jurisdiction that has a QDMTT that applies to Stateless Entities in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
(b) If the Entity is not described in paragraph (a) above, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not select any option(s), except that, if one or more (direct or, if owned through a chain of Hybrid Entities or Tax Transparent Entities, indirect) Constituent Entity-owner(s) of the Entity are located in a Jurisdiction that has a QDMTT in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall select (if applicable) the option of Hybrid Entity, Flow-Through Entity – Tax Transparent or Flow-Through Entity – Reverse Hybrid.
Note 1.3.3.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant status for GloBE purposes of the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of JV Group on the day immediately preceding the date of the change. The relevant option(s) shall be selected: Constituent Entity • Flow-Through Entity - Tax Transparent • Flow-Through Entity - Reverse Hybrid • Hybrid Entity • Permanent Establishment • Main Entity • Minority-Owned Parent Entity • Minority-Owned Subsidiary • Minority-Owned Constituent Entity • Investment Entity • Insurance Investment Entity • Securitisation Entity • Joint Venture (JV) • JV Subsidiary • Non-Material Constituent Entity • POPE • Intermediate Parent Entity • Ultimate Parent Entity • Parent Entity required to apply a QIIR under Art. 10.3.5 • Excluded Entity • Non-Group member. If more than one option is relevant, the Filing Constituent Entity shall select all relevant options.
Note 1.3.3.5: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant status for GloBE purposes of the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of JV Group on the day of the change after the transaction. The relevant option(s) shall be selected: Constituent Entity • Flow-Through Entity - Tax Transparent • Flow-Through Entity - Reverse Hybrid • Hybrid Entity • Permanent Establishment • Main Entity • Minority-Owned Parent Entity • Minority-Owned Subsidiary • Minority-Owned Constituent Entity • Investment Entity • Insurance Investment Entity • Securitisation Entity • Joint Venture (JV) • JV Subsidiary • Non-Material Constituent Entity • POPE • Intermediate Parent Entity • Ultimate Parent Entity • Parent Entity required to apply a QIIR under Art. 10.3.5 • Excluded Entity • Non-Group member. If more than one option is relevant, the Filing Constituent Entity shall select all relevant options.
Note 1.3.3.5 to 1.3.3.8: if a Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group is wound up during the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant status for GloBE purposes on the day of the change before the transaction in 1.3.3.4 and “Non-group Member” in 1.3.3.5. The Filing Constituent Entity shall then identify the Entities holding Ownership Interests in the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group on the day of the change before the transaction in 1.3.3.6 and report the Ownership Interests held in the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group by any of such Entities in 1.3.3.7. The Filing Constituent Entity, however, shall not complete 1.3.3.8.
Note 1.3.3.6 to 1.3.3.8: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete the 1.3.3.6 and 1.3.3.7 columns with respect to Excluded Entities that were Excluded Entities before the change. The Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete the 1.3.3.6 and 1.3.3.8 columns with respect to Excluded Entities that were Excluded Entities after the change.
Note 1.3.3.6: if the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group is a Permanent Establishment, the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify its Main Entity in the 1.3.3.6 column and report 100% in the 1.3.3.7 or 1.3.3.8 column.
Note 1.3.3.6: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report all Constituent Entities, Group Entities, Excluded Entities, members of JV Groups or non-Group members that directly held Ownership Interests in the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group on the day immediately preceding the date of the transaction or on the day of the change after the transaction. Excluded Entities that are not the UPE and non-Group members should be reported in the aggregate (i.e., “Excluded Entities (aggregate)” and “Non-Group members (aggregate)”). The Filing Constituent Entity shall also report any Group Entity that indirectly held Ownership Interests in the Constituent (or other Entity of the MNE Group) through Excluded Entities or non-Group members on the day immediately preceding the date of the transaction or on the day of the change after the transaction.
Note 1.3.3.7: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report (in percentage) the Ownership Interests held in the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group by the Constituent Entities, Excluded Entities, members of JV Groups and non-Group members identified in 1.3.3.6 on the day immediately preceding the date of change in accordance with the guidance provided in Note 1.3.2.1.10.
Note 1.3.3.8: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report (in percentage) the Ownership Interests held in the Constituent Entity (or other Entity of the MNE Group) or member of a JV Group by the Constituent Entities, Excluded Entities, members of JV Groups and non-Group members identified in 1.3.3.6 on the day of the change after the transaction in accordance with the guidance provided in Note 1.3.2.1.10.
Note 1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this table if the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour applies for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete columns 1.4.2 to 1.4.9 in cases where no jurisdiction has taxing rights (i.e., column 1.4.4 would be empty) with respect to the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1.
Note 1.4.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the information reflected in the summary table in respect of each jurisdiction where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities or where members of JV Groups are located and each subgroup for which a separate ETR or Top-up Tax computation applies.
Note 1.4.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code for the jurisdiction where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities or where members of JV Groups are located based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard.
Note 1.4.2: if applicable, the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify each subgroup, as reported in 2.1.2 and/or 3.1.2.
Note 1.4.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or, when a TIN is not available, a functional equivalent, such as a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service) of the Entity at the top of the ownership structure of each subgroup identified in 1.4.2. For Minority-Owned Subgroups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Minority-Owned Parent Entity or, if the Minority-Owned Parent Entity is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the MOCEs. For Joint Venture Groups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Joint Venture or, if the Joint Venture is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the JV Subsidiaries. For Constituent Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Constituent Entities. For Investment Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Investment Entities. For a standalone MOCE or a standalone Joint Venture, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the relevant MOCE or Joint Venture.
Note 1.4.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the names of the jurisdiction(s) with taxing rights in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 and, if applicable, the relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 in the form of 2-character alphabetic country codes based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard. A jurisdiction with taxing rights may include a jurisdiction requiring a Parent Entity to apply a QIIR under Art. 10.3.5, even if that Parent Entity is located in another jurisdiction for GloBE purposes. A jurisdiction has taxing rights in respect of another, where, under the rule order provided in the GloBE rules, the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax computed in respect of the latter jurisdiction would result in a Top-up Tax liability due by a Constituent Entity located in the former jurisdiction under the charging provisions in the former jurisdiction. Specifically, a QDMTT Safe Harbour jurisdiction or a jurisdiction with an Income Inclusion Rule that applies to domestic entities will have taxing rights in respect of itself. Further, several jurisdictions may have taxing rights in respect of the same other jurisdiction. This may be the case, for instance, when both the UPE and a Partially-Owned Parent Entity are required to apply the IIR in respect of a Constituent Entity located in a third jurisdiction. In that case, both the UPE jurisdiction and the Partially-Owned Parent Entity jurisdiction need to be reported under 1.4.4. Equally, UTPR jurisdictions would all have taxing rights in respect of the jurisdictions for which the Top-up Tax is not reduced to zero under Article 2.5.
Note 1.4.5: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report whether a Safe Harbour or the de minimis exclusion as reported in 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 (respectively) is applied in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 (if any). The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant option(s) applied for purposes of the Safe Harbour in accordance with Note 2.2.1.1.1.
Note 1.4.6: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the range in which the ETR of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 (if any) and as reported in 3.2.1.e falls. The options are: (a) below 2.5%; (b) 2.5% or above but below 5%; (c) 5% or above but below 7.5%; (d) 7.5% or above but below 10%; (e) 10% or above but below 12.5%; (f) 12.5% or above but below 15%; (g) 15% or above but below 17.5%; (h) 17.5% or above but below 20%; (i) 20% or above but below 22.5%; (j) 22.5% or above but below 25%; (k) 25% or above but below 27.5%; (l) 27.5% or above but below 30%; (m) 30% or above. The Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this column if the MNE Group (or the relevant subgroup) has a GloBE Loss in the jurisdiction. Furthermore, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this column for those jurisdictions (or subgroups) in respect of which Section 3 of the GIR does not need to be completed.
Note 1.4.7: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report whether the application of the Substance-based Income Exclusion in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3, if any, has resulted in no Top-Up Tax arising in the jurisdiction. Where there is no SBIE calculated for the jurisdiction or the subgroup the Filing Constituent Entity shall indicate “n/a”.
Note 1.4.8: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the range in which the QDMTT Top-up Tax payable falls, in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 (if any), as reported in 3.3.1.e, if any. The options are: (a) no Top-up Tax payable; (b) below EUR 1 million; (c) EUR 1 million to below EUR 5 million; (d) EUR 5 million to below EUR 25 million; (e) EUR 25 million to below EUR 50 million; (f) EUR 50 million to below EUR 75 million; (g) EUR 75 million to below EUR 100 million; (h) EUR 100 million to below EUR 250 million; (i) EUR 250 million or above.
Note 1.4.9: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the range in which the GloBE Top-up Tax payable, if any, falls, in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 (if any) and as reported in 3.3.1.g. The options are: (a) no Top-up Tax payable; (b) below EUR 1 million; (c) EUR 1 million to below EUR 5 million; (d) EUR 5 million to below EUR 25 million; (e) EUR 25 million to below EUR 50 million; (f) EUR 50 million to below EUR 75 million; (g) EUR 75 million to below EUR 100 million; (h) EUR 100 million to below EUR 250 million; (i) EUR 250 million or above. If a different amount to the amount reported in 3.3.1.g is reported in 3.1.10, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report both the range in which the GloBE Top-up Tax payable falls as reported in 3.3.1.g and the range in which the average amount of Top-up Tax payable under the domestic legislation of each jurisdiction with taxing rights, if any, falls, in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 1.4.1 or the relevant subgroup identified in 1.4.3 (if any) and as reported in 3.1.10 with the same options. For purpose of the average, the amounts reported in 3.1.10 are weighted by the relevant jurisdiction’s Allocable Share of the Top-up Tax (after deducting any reduction for the offset mechanism in Article 2.3.2) or UTPR percentage as computed under the GloBE Model Rules and Commentary.
Note 1.4.10: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies with respect to the jurisdiction or the subgroup (if any) identified in 1.4.1. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report in column 1.4.1.10 the range in which the amount of Qualified Tax Incentives used in the Reporting Fiscal Year falls. The options are: (a) below EUR 1 million; (b) EUR 1 million to below EUR 5 million; (c) EUR 5 million to below EUR 25 million; (d) EUR 25 million to below EUR 50 million; (e) EUR 50 million to below EUR 75 million; (f) EUR 75 million to below EUR 100 million; (g) EUR 100 million to below EUR 250 million; (h) EUR 250 million or above.
Note 1.4.11: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the range in which the aggregate amount reported in 3.2.1.2.a.2.v, 3.2.2.3.a.6, 3.3.4.3 falls. The options are: (a) no benefits; (b) below EUR 1 million; (c) EUR 1 million to below EUR 5 million; (d) EUR 5 million to below EUR 25 million; (e) EUR 25 million to below EUR 50 million; (f) EUR 50 million to below EUR 75 million; (g) EUR 75 million to below EUR 100 million; (h) EUR 100 million to below EUR 250 million; (i) EUR 250 million or above.
The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete Section 2 on a jurisdictional basis, for each jurisdiction where exceptions to the GloBE computation apply. In this light, this section provides information to report the application of such exceptions.
Section 2.1 contains basic information for the jurisdiction. Some exceptions apply on a subgroup basis. Section 2.1 therefore requires the identification of such subgroups.
Section 2.2 includes the information relevant for the exceptions to the Top-up Tax computation, i.e. the application of either a safe harbour or the de-minimis exclusion.
Section 2.3 provides information demonstrating that the MNE Group is eligible for exclusion from the UTPR under Article 9.3 or from the QDMTT under paragraph 118.51 of the QDMTT Commentary (initial phase of their international activity).
The Filing Constituent Entity shall file the Jurisdictional Safe Harbours and Exclusions section for a jurisdiction with the tax administration of a jurisdiction, if the second-mentioned jurisdiction is the UPE jurisdiction or has taxing rights in respect of the first-mentioned jurisdiction. In particular, the Filing Constituent Entity shall file the Jurisdictional Safe Harbours and Exclusions section for a jurisdiction where a QDMTT is imposed on Constituent Entities or in respect of Joint Ventures or members of JV Group of the MNE Group with the tax administration of that jurisdiction.
Note 2.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the information in respect of each jurisdiction where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities or where members of JV Groups are located.
Note 2.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report “Stateless” for each Stateless Constituent Entity.
Note 2.1.2: Several subgroups can be identified in this row. The relevant option(s) shall be selected from the following list: Constituent Entities • Minority-Owned Subgroup (specify which Minority-Owned Subgroup) • Standalone MOCEs • Investment Entities • Joint Venture Group (specify which JV Group) • Stateless Constituent Entity • Constituent Entities and Same-country Investment Entities • Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour-Constituent Entities • Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour- Joint Venture Group (specify which JV Group) • Transitional UTPR Safe Harbour. The Filing Constituent Entity shall only select Constituent Entities and Same-country Investment Entities if the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applies and the Filing Constituent Entity wishes to make an election to treat Constituent Entities and Same-country Investment Entities as a single subgroup for purpose of the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour. Standalone MOCEs are Minority-Owned Constituent Entities that are not part of any Minority-Owned Group. Investment Entities also include JVs or JV subsidiaries that qualify as Investment Entities but do not include Investment Entities for which an election is made under Article 7.5. Minority-Owned Subgroups may be made of members of JV Groups. Investment Entities do not include Same-country Investment Entities if the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applies and Constituent Entities and Same-country Investment Entities are treated as a single subgroup for purpose of the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour. Stateless Constituent Entities also include members of JV Groups that are Stateless. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant information for each subgroup.
Note 2.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or, when a TIN is not available, a functional equivalent, such as a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service) of the Entity at the top of the ownership structure of each subgroup identified in row 2.1.2. For Minority-Owned Subgroups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Minority-Owned Parent Entity or, if the Minority-Owned Parent Entity is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the MOCEs. For Joint Venture Groups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Joint Venture or, if the Joint Venture is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the JV Subsidiaries. For Constituent Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Constituent Entities. For Investment Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Investment Entities. For a standalone MOCE or a standalone Joint Venture, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the relevant MOCE or Joint Venture.
Note 2.1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the names of the jurisdiction(s) with taxing rights in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 2.1.1 and, if applicable, the relevant subgroup identified in 2.1.3 in the form of 2-character alphabetic country codes based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard. A jurisdiction has taxing rights in respect of another, where, under the rule order provided in the GloBE Rules, the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax computed in respect of the latter jurisdiction would result in a Top-up Tax liability due by a Constituent Entity located in the former jurisdiction under the charging provisions in the former jurisdiction. Specifically, a QDMTT Safe Harbour jurisdiction or a jurisdiction with an Income Inclusion Rule that applies to domestic Entities will have taxing rights in respect of itself. Further, several jurisdictions may have taxing rights in respect of the same other jurisdiction. This may be the case, for instance, when both the UPE and a Partially-Owned Parent Entity are required to apply the IIR in respect of a Constituent Entity located in a third jurisdiction. In that case, both the UPE jurisdiction and the Partially-Owned Parent Entity jurisdiction need to be reported under 2.1.4. Equally, UTPR jurisdictions would all have taxing rights in respect of the jurisdictions for which the Top-up Tax is not reduced to zero under Article 2.5. When multiple jurisdictions are reported in 2.1.4, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete 2.1.5 in respect of each of them.
Note 2.1.5: this row shall be completed separately for each jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 2.1.4. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report ‘Yes’ for a jurisdiction when either the MNE Group has reported that it is eligible for a safe harbour or exclusion in Section 2 when it is not eligible for the same safe harbour or exclusion under the domestic law of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights or, conversely, the MNE Group has reported that it is not eligible for a safe harbour or exclusion in Section 2 when it is eligible for the same safe harbour or exclusion under the domestic law of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights. Where the Filing Constituent Entity reports ‘Yes’, it should both: (i) complete Section 2 with respect to the relevant safe harbour or exclusion; and (ii) report in Section 3 the jurisdictional computations for that jurisdiction or subgroup.
This section includes the information relevant for the application of either a Safe Harbour or the de-minimis exclusion. Section 2.2.1 requires the Filing Constituent Entity that elected to apply transitional safe harbour to report the information needed to demonstrate that the MNE Group is eligible for that safe harbour for the jurisdiction. It also requires the disclosure of data points needed for purposes of applying a permanent safe harbour, such as the Simplified Calculations Safe Harbour for Non-material Constituent Entities, the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour and the Substance-based Tax Incentives Safe harbour. This section could be expanded over time to reflect other safe harbours (e.g. additional Simplified Calculations), where relevant. Section 2.2.2 requires the Filing Constituent Entity that elected for the application of the de-minimis exclusion to report the information needed to demonstrate that the jurisdiction is eligible for the de-minimis exclusion.
2.2.1. Safe harbour jurisdiction election
Note 2.2.1: where a safe harbour reduces the top-up tax to zero for Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete any tables in Section 3 with respect to those Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups (except otherwise indicated in the notes below).
2.2.1.1. Safe harbour election
Note 2.2.1.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall identify the test that it elects to apply for this jurisdiction. An MNE Group that qualifies for more than one test may choose which test to apply for that jurisdiction. The relevant option(s) shall be selected: (a) Non-Material Constituent Entities safe harbour – de minimis test; (b) Non-Material Constituent Entities safe harbour – ETR test; (c) Non-Material Constituent Entities safe harbour – routine profits test; (d) Simplified ETR Safe Harbour; (e) QDMTT safe harbour; (f) Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour; (g) Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour – De minimis test; (h) Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour – Simplified ETR test; (i) Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour – Routine profits test; or (j) Transitional UTPR safe harbour; or (k) UPE Safe Harbour The Filing Constituent Entity shall not select option (g), (h) or (i) for a jurisdiction for a Reporting Fiscal Year if it did not elect to apply a safe harbour or selected an option other than (g), (h) or (i) for the preceding Reporting Fiscal Year. Options (j) and (k) can only be selected if the jurisdiction is the UPE jurisdiction, in accordance with the agreed safe harbour. Option (k) can only be selected if the jurisdiction is the UPE Jurisdiction and it is listed in the Central Record as a jurisdiction with a Qualified UPE Regime for the Reporting Fiscal Year. Option (j) can only be selected if the Reporting Fiscal Year runs no longer than 12 months and begins on or before 31 December 2025 and ends on or before 3 January 2027.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (a), (b) or (c) is selected, and Simplified Calculations only apply to a portion of the GloBE calculations, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete relevant portions of Section 3 that are not covered by the Simplified Calculations.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (a), (b) or (c) is selected, and only a portion of Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups in the subgroup identified in 2.1.3 are covered by the Simplified Calculations, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete Section 3 for all Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the safe harbour jurisdiction as provided in the explanatory guidance.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (a), (b) or (c) is selected, and Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the jurisdiction, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete columns 1.4.8 to 1.4.9, columns 3.3.1.d to 3.3.1.g, Section 3.3.3 and Section 3.4 with respect to the relevant Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: option (e) shall not be selected when the switch-off rule applies to the QDMTT Safe Harbour in respect of the jurisdiction or the relevant subgroup. If option (e) is selected, the Filing Constituent Entity may also select one of the other options. If option (f) or no other options are selected, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete Section 3 for all Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the safe harbour jurisdiction with the calculations undertaken for QDMTT purposes (or for the Stateless Constituent Entities if the QDMTT is imposed on the Stateless Constituent Entities in the safe harbour jurisdiction). If the MNE Group elects to apply the QDMTT safe harbour together with another safe harbour (or the de-minimis exclusion, respectively) available under the QDMTT legislation, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete the relevant portions of Section 3 (or Table 2.2.2, respectively) with the calculations undertaken for QDMTT purposes. As an exception, however, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete Section 3.4 unless the QDMTT legislation allocates the QDMTT among Constituent Entities (or members of JV Groups) based on their GloBE Income. If the QDMTT legislation allocates the QDMTT among Constituent Entities (or members of JV Groups) based on their GloBE Income, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete rows 3.4.1.1.a to 3.4.1.1.c.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (c) or (i) is selected, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete Section 3.3.2 (relating to the Substance-based Income Exclusion) with respect to the relevant Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups in accordance with agreed safe harbours. Nevertheless, the Filing Constituent Entity does not need to complete Section 3.3.2 if option (i) is selected and the MNE Group reported zero profit or a loss for the jurisdiction in 2.2.1.3.a.2.
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (d) is selected, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete tables 3.2.1.1, 3.2.1.2(a), 3.2.1.2(b), 3.2.2, 3.2.3.1, 3.2.4.3, 3.2.4.4 and 3.3.4. If Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall further complete tables 3.3.3, and 3.4. These tables shall be completed in accordance with the general notes in the explanatory guidance, except as otherwise provided in the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour section of the explanatory guidance. If option (d) is selected, the Filing Constituent Entity may also select any of options (a), (b), (c) or (f).
Note 2.2.1.1.1: if option (f) is selected, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete the relevant portions of Section 3 (irrespective of whether the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax is reduced to zero after the application of the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour).
2.2.1.2. Permanent safe harbours
(a) Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities
Note 2.2.1.2.(a-d): if Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities is utilised under option (a), (b) or (c) in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also report the Total Revenue, as defined in the Safe Harbours and Penalty Relief document, of all Non-material Constituent Entities located in the jurisdiction for which the election to apply the Simplified Calculations for Non-Material Constituent Entities is made for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the first preceding fiscal year (if applicable) and the second preceding fiscal year (if applicable), as well as the average of the three Fiscal Years respectively. If Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities is utilised under option (a) in 2.2.1.1 and the Simplified Calculations for Non-Material Constituent Entities apply only to some of the Constituent Entities in the subgroup identified in 2.1.3, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete table 2.2.2.
Note 2.2.1.2.a.2: if Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities is utilised under option (b) in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report aggregate Simplified Tax, as defined in the Safe Harbours and Penalty Relief document, of all Non-material Constituent Entities located in the jurisdiction for which the election to apply the Simplified Calculations for Non-Material Constituent Entities is made for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
(b) Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities
Note 2.2.1.2.b.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Jurisdictional Profit or Loss before Income Tax, after the allocations under Articles 3.4 and 3.5 (or under the PE Simplification Election, if the Filing Constituent Entity made the PE Simplification Election with respect to the Permanent Establishments of Main Entities located in the jurisdiction).

Note 2.2.1.2.b.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments related to Excluded Dividends. Where a movement in an insurance company’s reserve economically matches an Excluded Dividend (net of the investment management fee) from a security held on behalf of a policyholder, the movement in the insurance reserves shall be reported as a positive adjustment (addition to the FANIL) in row 2.2.1.2.b.3.
Note 2.2.1.2.b.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments related to Excluded Equity Gain or Loss. The amount of those adjustments shall also include foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to hedging instruments when the election to treat those foreign exchange gains or losses as an Excluded Equity Gain or Loss has been made. The expense from movements in insurance reserves related to Excluded Equity Gains or Losses from securities held on behalf of policyholders shall be reported as a positive adjustment (addition to the FANIL) in row 2.2.1.2.b.4. The amount of the adjustments shall not include equity gain or loss that are not excluded pursuant to an Equity Investment Inclusion Election.

The expense for any fine or penalty shall only be added back to the Jurisdictional Profit or Loss before Income Tax if the amount of that fine or penalty equals or exceeds EUR 250 000 (or an equivalent in the functional currency in which the Jurisdictional Profit or Loss before Income Tax was calculated).
Note 2.2.1.2.b.6: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate amount of industry, conditional and optional adjustments (if any) to the Jurisdictional Profit or Loss before Income Tax (as reported in relevant rows of table 3.2.1.1).
Note 2.2.1.2.b.7: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the total amount of adjustments to the Jurisdictional Profit or Loss before Income Tax.

Note 2.2.1.2.c.1: if option (f) is selected in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete:
(i) 2.2.1.2.c.1.a if the sum of the Eligible Payroll Costs of Eligible Employees that perform activities in the jurisdiction is greater than the depreciation and depletion recorded in the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss in respect of Eligible Tangible Assets located in the jurisdiction; or
(ii) 2.2.1.2.c.1.b if the depreciation and depletion recorded in the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss in respect of Eligible Tangible Assets located in the jurisdiction is greater than the sum of the Eligible Payroll Costs of Eligible Employees that perform activities in the jurisdiction.
If the amounts are equal, the Filing Constituent Entity can choose to complete either 2.2.1.2.c.1.a or 2.2.1.2.c.1.b.
Note 2.2.1.2.c.1.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report an amount equal to 5.5% of the sum of the Eligible Payroll Costs of Eligible Employees that perform activities in the jurisdiction.
Note 2.2.1.2.c.1.b: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report an amount equal to 5.5% of the depreciation and depletion recorded in the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss in respect of Eligible Tangible Assets located in the jurisdiction. If the Filing Constituent Entity had elected for the Five-Year Election to use carrying value cap in a Fiscal Year prior to the Reporting Fiscal Year (and subsequently revoked that election), the assets for which the carrying value was previously included in calculating the carrying value cap must be excluded from the calculation of the amount of depreciation and depletion.
Note 2.2.1.2.c.2:. If a Five-Year Election to use the carrying value cap is in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete 2.2.1.2.c.1.
Note 2.2.1.2.c.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Election Year in the GloBE Information Return filed for the Election Year and in the GloBE Information Returns filed for any subsequent Fiscal Year when the election is in force.

The Annual Election to treat the relevant Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and Marketable Tax Credits as Qualified Tax Incentives is made by completing row 2.2.1.2.c.5.
Note 2.2.1.2.c.6: if option (f) is selected in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate amount of Qualified Tax Incentives accrued in the Reporting Fiscal Year (i.e. including the amount that exceeds the Substance Cap).
(d) Breakdown of Qualified Tax Incentives
Note 2.2.1.2.d: The Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this table if the amount of Qualified Tax Incentives utilised in the Reporting Fiscal Year as reported in 3.2.1.2.a.2.u is below 25% of the amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes as reported in 3.2.1.2.a.3. The Inclusive Framework will provide further guidance on whether this table shall be completed if the QDMTT Safe Harbour applies.
The Filing Constituent Entity shall report an incentive in table 2.2.1.2.d only if the amount of that incentive that is utilised in the Reporting Fiscal Year individually exceeds 10% of the amount reported in 3.2.1.2.a.2.u or EUR 1 million.
Note 2.2.1.2.d.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the name of the Qualified Tax Incentive (or the Qualified Refundable Tax Credit or Marketable Transferable Tax Credit treated as Qualified Tax Incentive) in the official language of the jurisdiction.
Note 2.2.1.2.d.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the amount of the Qualified Tax Incentive identified in 2.2.1.2.d.1.
2.2.1.3. Transitional safe harbours
(a) Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour
Note 2.2.1.3.a: where the Qualified Financial Statements used to complete this table are the separate financial statements of a Constituent Entity or a member of a JV Group and are based on an accounting standard that differs from the accounting standard used in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Ultimate Parent Entity, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete Table 3.2.4.6
Note 2.2.1.3.a.1: If option (g) is selected in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Total Revenue for the jurisdiction as reported in the Qualified CbC Report of the MNE Group (or Qualified Financial Statements for members of JV Groups) for the Reporting Fiscal Year. Option (g) cannot be selected if the sum of the total revenue of Entities that are held for sale when combined with the CbCR Total Revenue in that jurisdiction (as reported in the MNE’s Qualified CbC Report) equals or exceeds EUR 10 million.
Note 2.2.1.3.a.2: If option (g), (h) or (i) is selected in 2.2.1.1.1, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Profit (Loss) before Income Tax for the jurisdiction as reported in the Qualified CbC Report of the MNE Group (or Qualified Financial Statements for members of JV Groups) for the Reporting Fiscal Year and in accordance with the methodologies set out in the Safe Harbours and Penalty Relief document.

2.2.2. Election for de minimis exclusion
Note 2.2.2: Investment Entities and Stateless Constituent Entities are not eligible for the de minimis exclusion. The GloBE Revenue and GloBE Income or Loss of both types of Entities are excluded from the computation in Art. 5.5.3. The GloBE Revenue and the GloBE Income or Loss of the Minority-Owned Constituent Entities is taken into account together with those of other Constituent Entities for purposes of determining the Average GloBE Revenue and the Average GloBE Income or Loss of the jurisdiction where they are located.
Note 2.2.2: where the Filing Constituent Entity elects to apply the de minimis exclusion with respect to an eligible jurisdiction, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete Section 3.2.4.6 (where applicable) for the jurisdiction. If Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the jurisdiction, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also complete columns 1.4.8 to 1.4.9, columns 3.3.1.d to 3.3.1.g, Section 3.3.3 and Section 3.4 for the jurisdiction.
Note 2.2.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall select whether this table is completed for purpose of the application of the de minimis exclusion or to provide computations with respect to Constituent Entities that are not Non-material Constituent Entities if Simplified Calculation for Non-material Constituent Entities is utilised under option (a) in 2.2.1.1 and the Simplified Calculations for Non-Material Constituent Entities apply only to a portion of the Constituent Entities in the subgroup identified in 2.1.3.
Note 2.2.2.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report here the sum of the revenue of Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction before any adjustments under Chapter 3.
Note 2.2.2.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report here the sum of the GloBE Revenue of Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction.
Note 2.2.2.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report here the aggregate FANIL of Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction.

Notes 2.2.2.a-c: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant amounts in respect of the Reporting Fiscal Year, the first preceding fiscal year (if applicable) and the second preceding fiscal year (if applicable), respectively.
Note 2.2.2.d: where appropriate, the Average of the three Fiscal Years shall be computed by adjusting the corresponding revenue and income (or loss) calculations in proportion to the period covered by the preceding Fiscal Year over a calendar year.
applicable) The Top-up tax is reduced to zero for purposes of the UTPR if the MNE Group is in its initial phase of international activity (Article 9.3). Where a jurisdiction has adopted Article 9.3 in its QDMTT legislation, the Top-up tax is reduced to zero for purposes of the QDMTT if the MNE Group is in its initial phase of international activity (paragraph 118.51 of the QDMTT Commentary). If applicable, the table below provides information demonstrating that the MNE Group is eligible for the exclusion.
Note 2.3: when Article 9.3 applies, and no Group Entity is required to apply a QIIR, the Filing Constituent Entity does not need to complete Sections 2.1, 2.2 or Section 3 for the relevant jurisdictions for which the Top-up Tax is reduced to zero under Article 9.3.
Note 2.3.1: Article 9.3 does not apply for any Fiscal Year that starts later than five years after the first day of the Fiscal Year reported in 2.3.1. For MNE Groups in scope of the GloBE Rules when they come into effect, the date reported in 2.3.1 shall be replaced with the date when the UTPR rules come into effect.
Note 2.3.2: the Reference Jurisdiction is defined in Article 9.3.3.
Note 2.3.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Net Book Values of Tangible Assets of all Constituent Entities located in the jurisdiction for the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group originally comes within the scope of the GloBE Rules.
Note 2.3.4: the location of Joint Ventures and JV Subsidiaries or Investment Entities that are not Excluded Entities is not taken into account to determine the number of jurisdictions where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities.
Note 2.3.5.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard of each jurisdiction, other than the Reference Jurisdiction, where Constituent Entities are located for the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group originally comes within the scope of the GloBE Rules. The number of jurisdictions other than the Reference Jurisdiction shall be up to five.
Note 2.3.5.b: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report, for each jurisdiction, the Net Book Values of Tangible Assets of all Constituent Entities located in each of jurisdiction other than the Reference Jurisdiction for the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group originally comes within the scope of GloBE Rules. Tangible Assets of Stateless Constituent Entities are considered held by Constituent Entities located in a jurisdiction other than the Reference Jurisdiction, except to the extent that the MNE Group demonstrates that those Tangible Assets are physically located in the Reference Jurisdiction. Tangible Assets of Joint Ventures and JV Subsidiaries or Investment Entities that are not Excluded Entities, are not taken into account to determine the Sum of the Net Book Values of Tangible Assets of all Constituent Entities located in other jurisdictions than the Reference Jurisdiction.
Note 2.3.6: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Number of jurisdictions where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities during the Reporting Fiscal Year. If the Reporting Fiscal Year is the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group originally comes within the scope of GloBE Rules, this information shall not be reported as it can be derived from the information reported under 2.3.4.
Note 2.3.7: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the sum of the Net Book Values of Tangible Assets of all Constituent Entities located in all jurisdictions other than the Reference Jurisdiction during the Reporting Fiscal Year. If the Reporting Fiscal Year is the Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group originally comes within the scope of GloBE Rules, this information shall not be reported as it can be derived from the information reported under 2.3.5.
The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete Section 3 on a jurisdictional basis, for each jurisdiction (or subgroup, where relevant) where exceptions to the GloBE computation do not apply. In this light, this section provides information to support the ETR and Top-up Tax computation made by the MNE Group, as well as further details about the computation of the Top-up Tax payable under the GloBE Rules.
Like the GloBE Rules, this section of the GloBE Information Return follows a jurisdictional approach. The Filing Constituent Entity is therefore required to report the relevant information on a jurisdictional basis. Under specific circumstances, the ETR and Top-up Tax computation shall be performed on a sub-group basis.
Section 3.1 therefore requires the identification of such subgroups.
Section 3.2 contains jurisdictional information that is relevant for the computation of the ETR and more detailed information at the entity level. The Filing Constituent Entity may elect to use a transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework as discussed in Section 3.2.4.a.
Then, for jurisdictions where Top-up Tax, Additional Current Top-up Tax, or QDMTT apply, the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete Section 3.3.
Finally, Section 3.4 identifies each Parent Entity’s Allocable Share of Top-up Tax and provides more details on the computation of the UTPR Top-up Tax Amount, if any, as well as of the UTPR Percentage for each UTPR Jurisdiction, where relevant.
The Filing Constituent Entity shall file the GloBE Computations section for a jurisdiction with the tax administration of a jurisdiction in the same instances as outlined in respect of the Jurisdictional Safe Harbours and Exclusions section. An exception applies with respect to UTPR Jurisdictions that have taxing rights under the UTPR but a UTPR Percentage of zero. The Filing Constituent Entity shall file the information on the attribution of Top-up Tax under the UTPR (i.e. the relevant row of table 3.4.3 only) instead of the whole jurisdictional section with the tax administration of these jurisdictions.
Note 3.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the information in respect of each jurisdiction where the MNE Group has Constituent Entities or where members of JV Groups are located.
Note 3.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report “Stateless” for each Stateless Constituent Entity.
Note 3.1.2: a “subgroup’’ shall be identified for each perimeter of GloBE computation. Several subgroups can be identified in this row. The relevant option(s) shall be selected: Constituent Entities • Minority-Owned Subgroup (specify which Minority-Owned Subgroup) • Standalone MOCEs • Investment Entities • Joint Venture Group (specify which JV Group) • Stateless Constituent Entity. Standalone MOCEs are Minority-Owned Constituent Entities that are not part of any Minority-Owned Group. Investment Entities also include JVs or JV subsidiaries that qualify as Investment Entities but do not include Investment Entities for which an election is made under Article 7.5. Minority-Owned Subgroups may be made of members of JV Groups. Stateless Constituent Entities also include members of JV Groups that are Stateless. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the relevant information in Sections 3.2 for each subgroup.
Note 3.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or, when a TIN is not available, a functional equivalent, such as a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service) of the Entity at the top of the ownership structure of each subgroup identified in row 3.1.2. For Minority-Owned Subgroups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Minority-Owned Parent Entity or, if the Minority-Owned Parent Entity is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the MOCEs. For Joint Venture Groups, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the Joint Venture or, if the Joint Venture is not located in the jurisdiction, the TIN of one of the JV Subsidiaries. For Constituent Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Constituent Entities. For Investment Entities, if no Entity located in the jurisdiction is at the top of the ownership structure, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of one of the Investment Entities. For a standalone MOCE or a standalone Joint Venture, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN of the relevant MOCE or Joint Venture.
Note 3.1.4: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the names of the jurisdiction(s) with taxing rights in respect of the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 and, if applicable, the relevant subgroup identified in 3.1.2 in the form of 2-character alphabetic country codes based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard. A jurisdiction has taxing rights in respect of another, where, under the rule order provided in the GloBE Rules, the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax computed in respect of the latter jurisdiction would result in a Top-up Tax liability due by a Constituent Entity located in the former jurisdiction under the charging provisions in the former jurisdiction. Specifically, a QDMTT Safe Harbour jurisdiction or a jurisdiction with an Income Inclusion Rule that applies to domestic entities will have taxing rights in respect of itself. Further, several jurisdictions may have taxing rights in respect of the same other jurisdiction. This may be the case, for instance, when both the UPE and a Partially-Owned Parent Entity are required to apply the IIR in respect of a Constituent Entity located in a third jurisdiction. In that case, both the UPE jurisdiction and the Partially-Owned Parent Entity jurisdiction need to be reported under 3.1.4. Equally, UTPR jurisdictions would all have taxing rights in respect of the jurisdictions for which the Top-up Tax is not reduced to zero under Article 2.5.
Note 3.1.5 to 3.1.10: these data points do not need to be reported if only a single jurisdiction is reported as having taxing rights in 3.1.4 or if the QDMTT Safe Harbour applies with respect to the jurisdiction (in 3.1.1) or subgroup (in 3.1.3). Each data point should be reported separately for each jurisdiction with taxing rights identified under 3.1.4 (“the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights”). If there is no difference, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “No difference”.
Note 3.1.5: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Effective Tax Rate for a jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or a subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this Effective Tax Rate is different to the Effective Tax Rate reported in 3.2.1.e.
Note 3.1.6: this data point should only be reported if a different Effective Tax Rate is reported in 3.1.5 for a jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or a subgroup identified in 3.1.3. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate Adjusted Covered Taxes calculated for that jurisdiction or subgroup on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.2.1.d.
Note 3.1.7: this data point should only be reported if a different Effective Tax Rate is reported in 3.1.5 for a jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or a subgroup identified in 3.1.3. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Net GloBE Income calculated for that jurisdiction or subgroup on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.2.1.b.
Note 3.1.8: this data point should only be reported if a different Top-up Tax payable is reported in 3.1.10 for a jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or a subgroup identified in 3.1.3. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Substance-based Income Exclusion for that jurisdiction or subgroup on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.3.1.b.
Note 3.1.9: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Additional Current Top-up Tax Amount for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.3.1.d.
Note 3.1.10: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Top-up Tax payable for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.3.1.g.
Note 3.1.11: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report whether there is a difference in the applicability of the elections reported under 3.2.3 for a jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or a subgroup identified in 3.1.3 and those elections under the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4.
Note 3.1.12 to 3.1.15: these data points should be reported separately for each jurisdiction with taxing rights identified under 3.1.4 (“the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights”). The questions should only be answered if a difference has been reported in 3.1.6. If there is no difference for a given question, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “No difference”.
Note 3.1.12: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate current tax expense with respect to Covered Taxes after allocations in Article 4.3 (see 3.2.1.2.a.1) for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4.
Note 3.1.13: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustment made under Article 4.1.2(d) in relation to Qualified Refundable Tax Credits or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits in the computation of Adjusted Covered Taxes (see 3.2.1.2.a.2.d) for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4.
Note 3.1.14: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustment made in the computation of Adjusted Covered Taxes under Article 4.1.3(b) in relation to Non-Qualified Refundable Tax Credits or Non-Marketable Transferable Tax Credits or Other Tax Credits not recorded as a reduction to current tax expense (see 3.2.1.2.a.2.g) for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4.
Note 3.1.15: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Deferred tax expense amount (see 3.2.2.1.a.1) for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4.
Note 3.1.16 to 3.1.18 these data points should be reported separately for each jurisdiction with taxing rights identified under 3.1.4 (“the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights”). The Filing Constituent Entity shall report “No difference” if there is no difference.
Note 3.1.16: this data point should only be reported if a difference has been reported in 3.1.7. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustment made under Article 3.2.4 in relation to Qualified Refundable Tax Credits or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits in the computation of GloBE Income or Loss (see 3.2.1.1.2.n) for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.5.
Note 3.1.17: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Excess Negative Tax Carry-forward Balance remaining for subsequent years for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or the subgroup identified in 3.1.3 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if this amount is different to the amount reported in 3.2.1.2.b.4.
Note 3.1.18: the information should only be reported if the Reporting Fiscal Year is the Transition Year for the jurisdiction identified in 3.1.1 or subgroup identified in 3.1.3. The Filing Constituent Entity shall complete 3.1.18 on the basis of the domestic legislation of the relevant jurisdiction with taxing rights identified in 3.1.4 if there is a difference between this information and the information reported in 3.2.2.3
This section contains jurisdictional information that is relevant for the computation of the ETR.
In Section 3.2.1, a breakdown of all the adjustments made to the FANIL and to the current tax expense of all Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups is provided on a jurisdictional basis to identify the net GloBE Income or Loss of the jurisdiction as well as the Adjusted Covered Taxes for the jurisdiction.
Section 3.2.2 includes information on the jurisdictional computations that relate to deferred tax accounting such as the adjustments to the deferred tax expense and the application of the recapture mechanism. It also includes information relevant for the application of the transition rules.
Section 3.2.3 includes information on the jurisdictional elections that are made by the Filing Constituent Entity.
In section 3.2.4, a breakdown of adjustments presented in Section 3.2.1 is also provided for each Constituent Entity or member of JV Group. The Filing Constituent Entity may elect to use a transitional simplified jurisdictional reporting framework during the transition period as discussed in Section 3.2.4.a. If so, all adjustments identified in section 3.2.4 may not need to be reported. The Filing Constituent Entity shall also not complete Section 3.2.4 (with the exception of tables 3.2.4.3 and 3.2.4.4) if the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applies.
The Explanatory Guidance includes dedicated notes for data points that shall only be completed (or that shall be completed differently) when the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applies. The Filing Constituent Entity, however, shall follow the general notes in the Explanatory Guidance for the reporting of data points that shall be completed in the same way under the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour and full GloBE computations.
3.2.1. ETR
Note 3.2.1.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate amount of Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss determined for all Constituent Entities (or members of JV Group) located in the jurisdiction in preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements of the UPE.
Note 3.2.1.b: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Net GloBE Income or Loss for the jurisdiction. If there is more than one Investment Entity located in the jurisdiction, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report sum of the MNE Group’s Allocable Shares of each Investment Entity’s GloBE Income or Loss as determined under Article 7.4.4.
Note 3.2.1.c: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate amount of income tax expense that is recorded in the financial accounts of Constituent Entities (or members of JV Group) located in the jurisdiction. Note 3.2.1.d: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes of all Constituent Entities (or members of JV Groups) located in the jurisdiction. If there is more than one Investment Entity located in the jurisdiction, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the sum of the Adjusted Covered Taxes of each Investment Entity as determined under Article 7.4.3.
Note 3.2.1.e: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Effective Tax Rate for the jurisdiction. The Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this column if the MNE Group (or the relevant subgroup) has a GloBE Loss in the jurisdiction.
3.2.1.1. Computation of GloBE Income (Loss)
In the table below, the Filing Constituent Entity is required to report all the adjustments made to the FANIL of all the Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction, on an aggregate basis. The FANIL is the starting point for the computation of the GloBE Income or Loss. The Filing Constituent Entity is required to identify the net amount of each type of adjustment made to the FANIL on an aggregate basis, at the jurisdictional level, by reporting the relevant amount of the adjustment being made in the table below.
Note 3.2.1.1.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate FANIL of Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction after the allocation of GloBE Income or Loss between Main Entities and Permanent Establishments (Article 3.4) and the allocation of GloBE Income or Loss from Flow-through Entities (Article 3.5). Article 3.5 also covers the allocation of GloBE Income or Loss from an Investment Entity or an Insurance Investment Entity that is treated as a Tax Transparent Entity as a result of the election under Article 7.5.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.b: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments related to Excluded Dividends. Where a movement in an insurance company’s reserve economically matches an Excluded Dividend (net of the investment management fee) from a security held on behalf of a policyholder, the movement in the insurance reserves shall be reported as a positive adjustment (addition to the FANIL) in row 3.2.1.1.2.b.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.c: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments related to Excluded Equity Gain or Loss. The amount of those adjustments shall also include foreign exchange gains or losses attributable to hedging instruments when the election to treat those foreign exchange gains or losses as an Excluded Equity Gain or Loss has been made. The expense from movements in insurance reserves related to Excluded Equity Gains or Losses from securities held on behalf of policyholders shall be reported as a positive adjustment (addition to the FANIL) in row 3.2.1.1.2.c. The amount of the adjustments shall not include equity gain or loss that are not excluded pursuant to an Equity Investment Inclusion Election.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.k: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the reductions made to the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss of the Constituent Entities where the Entities are subject to a debt release and the income is excluded from the GloBE Income pursuant to Article 3.2.1 and related agreed Administrative Guidance.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.n: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments made to the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss pursuant to Article 3.2.4. In particular, any amount that is recorded as a reduction in current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes) in the financial accounts and that should be treated as income, is included as a positive adjustment and any amount that is recorded as income in the financial accounts and that should be treated as a reduction in current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes), is included as a negative adjustment. The Filing Constituent Entity shall also report as a negative adjustment the amount of benefits reported in 3.2.1.2.a.2.v that were treated as income in the financial accounts. If the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall include in this row the aggregate amount of Qualified Refundable Tax Credits or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits (treated as Qualified Tax Incentives) that are reflected as a reduction to the current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes) in the financial accounts of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.z: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the adjustments made to the Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss of the Constituent Entities where the entities are subject to an adjustment under Article 9.1.3.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.aa: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies and an Annual Election to treat certain Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and/or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits as Qualified Tax Incentives is made. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report as a negative adjustment the aggregate amount of those Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and/or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits (treated as Qualified Tax Incentives).
Note 3.2.1.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Net GloBE Income (Loss) of the Jurisdiction.
Notes 3.2.1.1.1 and 3.2.1.1.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows.
Notes 3.2.1.1.2.b, 3.2.1.1.2.c and 3.2.1.1.2.g: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows (because these mandatory adjustments are reported in table 2.2.1.2.b).
Notes 3.2.1.1.2.d, 3.2.1.1.2.h and 3.2.1.1.2.i: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows if the adjustment is a negative amount. If the adjustment is a positive amount, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows when the income is subject to tax at a rate that equals or exceeds the Minimum Rate and the related income taxes are accounted in equity or OCI (or the related deferred tax liability, if any, is a Recapture Exception Accrual).
Notes 3.2.1.1.2.f, 3.2.1.1.2.j, 3.2.1.1.2.s, 3.2.1.1.2.y: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows if an election not to perform the relevant adjustments was made in table 3.2.3.1.c.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.n: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if an Annual Election to perform the relevant adjustment is made by completing row 3.2.1.2.a.2.d.
Notes 3.2.1.1.2.e and 3.2.1.1.2.u: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows if the M&A Simplification applies.
Note 3.2.1.1.2.m: if a Five-Year Election for transfer pricing taxable income adjustments is in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also include in 3.2.1.1.2.m transfer pricing taxable income adjustments that are made for the Reporting Fiscal Year and accrued within 12 months of the end of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
When changes in the Covered Taxes liability in a previous Fiscal Year are attributable to an income adjustment in the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall include that income adjustment in 3.2.1.1.2.m (if not already reflected in the financial accounts). With respect to transfer pricing adjustments, the Filing Constituent Entity shall include in 3.2.1.1.2.m the amount of the change in the transfer price (if not already reflected in the financial accounts).
3.2.1.2. Computation of Adjusted Covered Taxes
The table below follows a similar approach as for the computation of the net GloBE Income or Loss of the Jurisdiction. The Filing Constituent Entity is required to report all the adjustments made to the current tax expense with respect to Covered Taxes accrued in Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss of all the Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction, on an aggregate basis. The Filing Constituent Entity is required to identify the net amount of each type of adjustment made to the current tax expense on an aggregate basis, at the jurisdictional level, by reporting the relevant amount of the adjustment being made in the table below.
(a) Total amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes
Note 3.2.1.2.a.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate current tax expense (with respect to Covered Taxes accrued in Financial Accounting Net Income or Loss of all the Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction) after the allocation of Covered Taxes from one Constituent Entity to another Constituent Entity (Article 4.3). Article 4.3 also covers the allocation of Covered Taxes from an Investment Entity or an Insurance Investment Entity that is treated as a Tax Transparent Entity as a result of the election under Article 7.5. Post-filing adjustments identified in this table do not include the adjustments made for a Fiscal Year other than the Reporting Fiscal Year in accordance with an ETR Adjustment Article. The post-filing adjustments related to Article 4.6.1 are the adjustments resulting in a material decrease in Covered Taxes for a previous Fiscal Year and the adjustments resulting in an immaterial decrease when an election is not made under 4.6.1.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.d: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the amount of the adjustment made pursuant to Article 4.1.2(d) in respect of a Qualified Refundable Tax Credit or Marketable Tax Credit that is recorded as a reduction in current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes) in the financial accounts. If the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall include in this row also Qualified Refundable Tax Credits or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits treated as Qualified Tax Incentives recorded as a reduction in current income tax expense for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.f: if the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall also report here the amount of tax that is attributable to Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and/or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits treated as Qualified Tax Incentives for the Reporting Fiscal (i.e. the amount of tax attributable to Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and/or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits that are excluded from GloBE Income due to their treatment as Qualified Tax Incentives).
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.g: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the amount of the adjustment made pursuant to Article 4.1.3(b) in respect of a non-Qualified Refundable Tax Credit, non-Marketable Transferable Tax Credit or Other Tax Credit that is recorded as income and not as a reduction in current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes) in the financial accounts.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.h: pursuant to Article 4.1.3(c), the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the amount of Covered Taxes which were claimed as Covered Tax in a previous fiscal year (subject to GloBE rules) and that is refunded or credited in the current fiscal year. Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and Marketable Transferable Tax Credits are excluded from the scope of application of this rule. The Filing Constituent Entity, however, shall report in this row Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and Marketable Transferable Tax Credits that are treated as Qualified Tax Incentives when the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.s: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-Forward generated for the reporting Fiscal Year pursuant to Article 5.2.1 or an election under Article 4.1.5 in accordance with related agreed Administrative Guidance. The same amount shall also be reported in 3.2.1.2.b.2.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.t: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the decrease in Adjusted Covered Taxes in relation to the remaining balance of the Excess Negative Expense Carry-forward pursuant to Article 5.2.1 or an election under Article 4.1.5 in accordance with related agreed Administrative Guidance. The decrease is the same amount as reported in 3.2.1.2.b.3 but cannot exceed the amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes obtained as a result of the other adjustments.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.u: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if the Substance-based Tax Incentive Safe Harbour applies. The Filing Constituent Entity shall report as a positive adjustment the lower of (i) the sum of the aggregate amount of Qualified Tax Incentives used in the Reporting Fiscal Year that are reflected as a reduction to the current income tax expense (or other Covered Taxes) in the financial accounts and the amount of Qualified Refundable Tax Credits and/or Marketable Transferable Tax Credits that have been elected to be treated as Qualified Tax Incentives and reported as a reduction to Adjusted Covered Taxes in 3.2.1.2.a.2.h and (ii) or the amount of those Qualified Tax Incentives up to the Substance Cap for the Tested Jurisdiction.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.v: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report as a negative adjustment the amount of benefits that are treated as a refund or credit of Covered Tax.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Adjusted Covered Taxes of all Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction.
Notes 3.2.1.2.a.1 and 3.2.1.2.a.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete these rows.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if an Annual Election to perform the relevant adjustment is made. The election is made by completing row 3.2.1.2.a.2.a.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.d: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if an Annual Election to perform the relevant adjustment is made. The election is made by completing row 3.2.1.2.a.2.d.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.k: the Filing Constituent Entity shall include in 3.2.1.2.a.2.k any change (increase or decrease) in the Covered Tax liability for a previous Fiscal Year (Transaction Year) that is accrued in the Reporting Fiscal Year.
As an exception, the Filing Constituent Entity can exclude a net decrease in the Covered Tax liability that is not attributable to a decrease in Simplified Income accrued more than 12 months of the end of the Transition Year when: (i) including that net decrease would cause the Simplified ETR of the Reporting Fiscal Year to be below the Minimum Rate; and (ii) after adjusting the Simplified Taxes (or Adjusted Covered Taxes) by the net decrease accrued in any Fiscal Year in respect of the Transaction Year and any corresponding deferred tax effects for the Transaction Year, the Simplified ETR (or GloBE ETR) for the Transaction Year is not below the Minimum Rate.
If a Five-Year election to include true-up adjustments in the Transaction Year is in force for the Reporting Fiscal Year, the Filing Constituent Entity shall include in 3.2.1.2.a.2.k any change (increase or decrease) in the Covered Tax Liability for the Reporting Fiscal Year that is accrued within 12 months of the end of the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.o: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this row.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.q: the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete this row (since the total amount of adjustments to the deferred tax expense is reported in table 2.2.1.2.b).
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.r: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this row if an Annual Election to perform the relevant adjustment is made. The election is made by completing row 3.2.1.2.a.2.r.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.s: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes or the Loss DTA Adjustment generated in the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.a.2.t: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the decrease in Simplified Taxes in relation to the outstanding balance of the Excess Negative Expense Carry-forward, the Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes, or the Loss DTA Adjustment at the beginning of the Reporting Fiscal Year. The decrease is the same amount as reported in 3.2.1.2.b.3 but cannot exceed the amount of Simplified Taxes obtained as a result of the other adjustments.
(b) Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward
Note 3.2.1.2.b.1: the Balance from prior years is the remaining amount of Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward (and Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward or Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward generated in any previous Fiscal Years when the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applied) for the jurisdiction that has not yet effectively reduced the amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes for the jurisdiction (or the amount of Simplified Taxes in any previous Fiscal Years when the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour applied).
Note 3.2.1.2.b.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward generated for the Reporting Fiscal Year for the jurisdiction. The Excess Negative Tax Expense Carryforward generated for the jurisdiction equals the Additional Current Top-up Tax under Article 4.1.5 for the jurisdiction reported under 3.3.3.2.4 if the election for the Excess Negative Tax expense administrative procedure is made for the Reporting Fiscal Year, pursuant to Article 4.1.5 and related agreed Administrative Guidance. The Excess Negative Tax Expense attributable to an amount of a loss that is carried back and applied against income for prior taxable years must be deducted from the amount of Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward. Under Article 5.2.1, the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward generated for the jurisdiction is computed for a Fiscal Year in which the MNE Group has a Top-up Tax Percentage for a jurisdiction that exceeds the Minimum Rate due to negative Adjusted Covered Taxes. In such a case, the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward for the jurisdiction is equal to the absolute amount of negative Adjusted Covered Taxes. The Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward generated in the Reporting Fiscal Year shall not include any amount of negative Adjusted Covered Taxes that is attributable to benefits reported in 3.2.1.2.a.2.v that were treated as Additional Current Top-up Tax for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.b.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carryforward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the Reporting Fiscal Year for the jurisdiction. The Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the jurisdiction shall be the lower of the remaining balance of the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carryforward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward and the Adjusted Covered Taxes computed for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.b.4: the Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward remaining for subsequent years is the sum of the Balance from prior years and the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward generated for the Reporting Fiscal Year for the jurisdiction after deducting the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.b.1: the Balance from prior years is the remaining amount of Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward, and Loss DTA Adjustment Carryforward for the jurisdiction that has not yet effectively reduced the amount of Simplified Taxes for the Tested Jurisdiction (or the amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes in any previous Fiscal Year when the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour did not apply).
Note 3.2.1.2.b.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report in 3.2.1.2.b.2 the Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes generated in the Reporting Fiscal Year. If an annual election for the Loss DTA Adjustment is made for the Reporting Fiscal Year the Filing Constituent Entity shall report in 3.2.1.2.b.2 the Loss DTA Adjustment generated for the Reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.b.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carryforward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward, and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the Reporting Fiscal Year for the Tested Jurisdiction. The Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward, the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, and the Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the Tested Jurisdiction shall be the lower of the remaining balance of the Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward, the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward and the Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward and the Simplified Taxes computed for the reporting Fiscal Year.
Note 3.2.1.2.b.4: the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward remaining for subsequent years is the sum of the Balance from prior years and the Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward or the Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward generated for the Reporting Fiscal Year for the Tested Jurisdiction after deducting the Excess Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward, Simplified Adjustment for Negative Taxes Carry-forward and Loss DTA Adjustment Carry-forward utilised for the reporting Fiscal Year.
(c) Transitional Blended CFC Regime calculation (if any)
Note 3.2.1.2.c: the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete this table if Blended CFC Tax is allocated (i) from a Constituent Entity-owner located in this jurisdiction and belonging to this subgroup or (ii) to Constituent Entities located in this jurisdiction and belonging to this subgroup pursuant to Article 4.3.2(c) and the related Administrative Guidance.
Note 3.2.1.2.c.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the jurisdictions where the Constituent Entities which were allocated Blended CFC Tax under the Blended CFC Tax Regime are located. The jurisdictions shall be reported in the form of 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard.
Note 3.2.1.2.c.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the subgroup of the Constituent Entities which were allocated Blended CFC Tax under the Blended CFC Tax Regime. This subgroup is the same as the one identified in 3.1.3.
Note 3.2.1.2.c.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Blended CFC Tax allocated for the Fiscal Year from the Constituent Entity-owner to Constituent Entities located in the jurisdiction identified in the first column.
3.2.2. Jurisdictional computations relating to deferred tax accounting
3.2.2.1. Deferred Tax adjustments
(a) High-level summary
Note 3.2.2.1.a.1.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the aggregate deferred tax expense amount in the Financial Accounts for all Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups located in the jurisdiction.

Section 3.4 provides more details about the computation of the Top-up Tax payable under the GloBE Rules.
It specifies the amount of Top-up Tax payable in respect of each Low-Taxed Constituent Entity (or member of JV Group) where a QIIR applies and identifies each Parent Entity’s Allocable Share of Top-up Tax. It further provides more details on the computation of the UTPR Top-up Tax Amount, if any, as well as of the UTPR Percentage for each UTPR Jurisdiction, where relevant. Possible simplifications, such as the possibility to not report the Top-up Tax on a CE basis when the IIR does not apply are discussed below.
3.4.1. Application of the IIR in respect of this jurisdiction
Note 3.4.1: this information is only required if a QIIR applies in respect of the relevant Low-Taxed Constituent Entities or members of JV Groups.
Note 3.4.1: the information relating to Constituent Entities or members of JV Group does not need to be reported on an Entity-by-Entity basis if, for those Constituent Entities or members of JV Group:
i a single Parent Entity applies a QIIR and the Parent’s Entity Allocable Share is 100%. In that situation, the Parent Entity’s Allocable Share of the Top-up Tax reported in 3.4.1.3.a shall equal the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax reported in 3.3.1.g; or ii the Inclusion Ratio of all the Parent Entities required to apply a QIIR is the same with respect to each relevant Constituent Entity or member of JV Group in the jurisdiction.
Note 3.4.1.1.a: the Group Entities that are allocated Top-up Tax are Constituent Entities, MOCEs, Investment Entities, members of JV Groups located in Low-Tax Jurisdictions or Stateless Constituent Entities with an ETR below the Minimum Rate.
Note 3.4.1.1.b: in those situations where Article 5.4.2 and/or 5.4.3 apply, the GloBE Income of each CE (or member of JV Group) shall not be used to allocate the relevant Top-up Tax but alternative allocation factors shall apply, as provided under those Articles and as clarified in this note. In those situations where Article 5.4.2 applies, the GloBE Income of each CE (or member of JV Group) shall be equal to the GloBE Income of those CEs (or members of JV Groups) in the Fiscal Years for which the recalculations under Article 5.4.1 were performed (as provided in Article 5.2.5). In those situations where Article 5.4.3 applies, the GloBE Income of each CE (or member of JV Group) shall be reported only for those CEs (or members of JV Groups) that record an Adjusted Covered Taxes amount that is less than zero and less than the GloBE Income or Loss of such CE (or member of JV Group) multiplied by the Minimum Rate and shall be computed as per the following formula: (GloBE Income or Loss x Minimum Rate) – Adjusted Covered Taxes. If both Article 5.4.2 and Article 5.4.3 apply, each of the alternative factors outlined in this note should be reported separately.
Note 3.4.1.1.c: the Top-up Tax of the LTCE (or member of JV Group) is the share of the relevant amount of the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax allocated in proportion to the GloBE Income of the LTCE (or member of JV Group), obtained by multiplying the amount of the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax by the ratio of GloBE Income of the LTCE (or member of JV Group) over the aggregate GloBE Income of all LTCEs (or members of JV Groups). In those situations where Article 5.4.2 and/or 5.4.3 apply, the aggregate GloBE Income of all LTCEs (or members of JV Groups) with GloBE Income in the jurisdiction shall not be used for purposes of allocating Top-up Tax. The relevant alternative allocation factors identified in 3.4.1.1.b shall be used instead (see Note 3.4.1.1.b). If Article 7.6 applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall not complete row 3.4.1.1.b and the Top-up Tax of the LTCE (or member of JV Group) shall be the amount determined in accordance with Article 7.6.2(c) (or 7.6.6 for the revocation year). If an Investment Entity or Insurance Investment Entity is allocated Top-up Tax both under Article 5.2.4 and Article 7.6.2 (c), the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete rows 3.4.1.1.a to 3.4.1.1.c twice with respect to this Investment Entity or Insurance Investment Entity.
Note 3.4.1.2.a: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the TIN (or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service) of the Parent Entity.
Note 3.4.1.2.b: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the jurisdictions where Parent Entities of the MNE Group are required to apply a QIIR in the form of 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard. When Article 10.3.5 applies, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the jurisdiction that requires the Parent Entity to apply its QIIR under Article 10.3.5.
Note 3.4.1.2.c: the amount of GloBE Income attributable to Ownership Interests held by other owners than the relevant Parent Entity is determined in accordance with Article 2.2.3.
Note 3.4.1.3.b: the IIR Offset is the amount of Top-up Tax that is brought into charge under a Qualified IIR by a POPE or Intermediate Parent Entity located in a lower tier of the ownership chain.
Note 3.4.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this table if Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the Reporting Fiscal Year.
3.4.2. Total UTPR Top-up Tax amount in respect of this Jurisdiction
Note 3.4.2: table 3.4.2 only needs to be completed in respect of LTCEs for which Article 2.5.2 does not apply and members of JV Groups in respect of which the JV Group Top-up Tax is not reduced to zero after the application of Qualified Income Inclusion Rules. If Article 2.5.2 applies for all LTCEs, Table 3.4.2 does not need to be completed for any LTCE. If the JV Group Top-up Tax is reduced to zero for all JV Group members of a given JV Group, Table 3.4.2 does not need to be completed for any JV Group member of that JV Group.
Note 3.4.2.1: if no QIIR applies in respect of any LTCE (or member of JV Group) for which the Top-up Tax calculation is made, this table does not need to be filled in on an LTCE (or member of JV Group) basis and the Filing Constituent Entity shall report “all” instead of the TIN of each LTCE (or member of JV Group) or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number or a unique identifier issued by a Government Verification Service.
Note 3.4.2.2: when Article 2.5.2 does not apply, the Top-up Tax for each LTCE shall be computed by deducting the Top-up Tax payable under the QIIR by the Parent Entity from the Top-up Tax of the LTCE. The Top-up Tax for each member of a JV Group shall be computed by deducting the Top-up Tax payable under the QIIR by the Parent Entity from the UPE’s Allocable Share of the Top-up Tax of the JV Member. If no QIIR applies in respect of any LTCE (or member of JV Group) for which the Top-up Tax calculation is made and the table is filled in on a jurisdictional basis, this information does not need to be reported.
Note 3.4.2.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the Total UTPR Top-up Tax Amount in respect of the jurisdiction.
Note 3.4.2.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the sum of all amounts reported in 3.4.2.2 (Top-up Tax taken into account for Article 2.5.1) for each Low-Taxed Constituent Entity and member of a JV Group located in a Low-Tax Jurisdiction as well as for each Stateless Constituent Entity that has an amount reported in 3.4.2.2 If no QIIR applies in respect of any LTCE (or member of JV Group) for which the Top-up Tax calculation is made, the Top-up Tax taken into account for Article 2.5.1 is the Jurisdictional Top-up Tax computed.
Note 3.4.2: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this table if Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the Reporting Fiscal Year.
3.4.3. Attribution of Top-up Tax under the UTPR
Note 3.4.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall complete this table if there is a UTPR Top-up Tax Amount for at least one jurisdiction for the Reporting Fiscal Year or if there is a UTPR Top-up Tax carry-forward reported in column 3.4.3.2.
Note 3.4.3.1: the Filing Constituent Entity shall report the UTPR Jurisdictions of the MNE Group in the form of 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard.
Note 3.4.3.2: if the UTPR Top-up Tax Amount allocated to a jurisdiction in a prior Fiscal Year has not yet resulted in an equivalent additional cash tax expense for the Constituent Entities located in that jurisdiction, the amount to be carried forward in accordance with Article 2.4.2 shall be reported in 3.4.3.2.
Note 3.4.3.3 and 3.4.3.4 (Total): if the UTPR Percentage in 3.4.3.5 is zero for a UTPR jurisdiction as a result of the application of Article 2.6.3, the Number of Employees and Tangible Assets of the Constituent Entities located in the jurisdiction are excluded from the total (i.e. denominator of the formula for purposes of the allocation key). This exclusion from the total (and the denominator) does not apply if all UTPR jurisdictions have a UTPR Percentage of zero in the Reporting Fiscal Year (Article 2.6.4).
Note 3.4.3.3: the Number of Employees allocated to Permanent Establishments (including those of Flowthrough Entities) shall be taken into account for computing the UTPR Percentage of the jurisdiction where such PEs are located. Further, the Number of Employees of Constituent Entities is subject to two exclusions under Article 2.6.2. Firstly, the number of Employees of Investment Entities in the UTPR jurisdiction shall be excluded for purposes of computing a jurisdiction’s UTPR percentage (Article 2.6.2(a)). Secondly, in instances where a Flow-through Entity’s employees are not allocated to PEs, they shall be allocated to any Constituent Entities that are located in the jurisdiction where the Flow-through Entity was created, irrespective of whether they are the Constituent Entity-owners of the Entity (Article 2.6.2(b)). The Number of Employees employed by a Flow-through Entity that are not otherwise allocated shall be excluded as provided under 2.6.2(b).
Note 3.4.3.4: the Net Book Value of Tangible Assets allocated to PEs (including those of Flow-through Entities) shall be taken into account for computing the UTPR Percentage of the jurisdiction where such PEs are located. Further, the Net Book Value of Tangible Assets of Constituent Entities is subject to two exclusions under Article 2.6.2. Firstly, the Net Book Value of Tangible Assets held by Investment Entities in the UTPR jurisdiction shall be excluded for purposes of computing a jurisdiction’s UTPR percentage (Article 2.6.2(a)). Secondly, in instances where a Flow-through Entity’s Tangible Assets are not allocated to PEs, they shall be allocated to any Constituent Entities that are located in the jurisdiction where the Flow-through Entity was created, irrespective of whether they are the Constituent Entity-owners of the Entity (Article 2.6.2(b)). The Net Book Value of the Tangible Assets held by a Flow-through Entity that are not otherwise allocated shall be excluded as provided under 2.6.2(b).
Note 3.4.3.5: the UTPR Percentage is computed in accordance with Article 2.6.1. If there is a UTPR Top-up Tax carry-forward for a UTPR jurisdiction in 3.4.3.2, the UTPR percentage of the jurisdiction shall be zero (Article 2.6.3), unless all UTPR jurisdictions have a UTPR Percentage of zero in the Reporting Fiscal Year (Article 2.6.4). The UTPR Percentage reported in this column shall be the UTPR Percentage computed after the application of Article 2.6.4.
Note 3.4.3.6 (Total): the total UTPR Top-up Tax Amount to be attributed among UTPR Jurisdictions is the sum of each Total UTPR Top-up Tax Amount in respect of each jurisdiction identified in table 3.4.3.
Note 3.4.3.7: the additional cash tax expense incurred by CEs in the UTPR jurisdiction is the amount of tax due under the UTPR in addition to the amount of tax that would otherwise be payable under normal tax rules.
Note 3.4.3.8: the UTPR Top-up tax left to be carried forward is the positive difference between the UTPR Top-up Tax amount attributed to the UTPR jurisdiction for the Reporting Fiscal Year and the additional cash tax expense incurred by CEs in the UTPR jurisdiction reported in 3.4.3.7. When the amount attributed to the UTPR jurisdiction for the Reporting Fiscal Year (3.4.3.6) is zero, the Filing Constituent Entity shall report in column 3.4.3.8 the positive difference between the UTPR Top-up Tax carry-forward from previous Fiscal Years (3.4.3.2) and the additional cash tax expense incurred by Constituent Entities located in the UTPR jurisdiction (3.4.3.7).
Note 3.4.3: the Filing Constituent Entity shall only complete this table if Additional Current Top-up Tax arises in the Reporting Fiscal Year with respect to one or more jurisdictions that qualify for the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour.
received under Exchange of Information
The GloBE Rules are intended to be implemented in a consistent and coordinated manner across Implementing Jurisdictions. Therefore, it is relevant to develop a standard notification template which contains a common set of information. Using a standard GIR notification template is expected to ease the compliance burden for MNE Groups and facilitate compliance coordination across Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions. Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions, however, are free to not use the template set out below. The use of the GIR notification template is a best practice, which means that Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions are not required to use it for purposes of implementing Article 8.1.3 of the GloBE Model Rules consistently with the GloBE Model Rules and the Commentary.
Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions are however encouraged to refrain from asking additional information that is not identified in the template for purposes of the notification due under Article 8.1.3. It is acknowledged, however, that certain additional information, such as name of the legal representative of the notifying Entity, may be needed for legal or other purposes. When assessing whether such information should be collected as part of the Article 8.1.3 notification requirement, the jurisdiction is expected to consider whether this information is necessary for identifying the jurisdiction from which it will receive the GIR, the Entity that is filing the GIR, and the local Entities for which the obligation to file the GIR will be lifted as a result of it being filed in another jurisdiction. Jurisdictions are also invited to consider whether the information may be made available to the jurisdiction at a later stage in the GloBE Information Return itself. When that is the case, jurisdictions are encouraged to refrain from collecting this additional information in the notification.
On the other hand, Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions are free to collect less information than what is provided in the notification template, for instance because such information is already available at the level of the tax administration (e.g. address of the notifying entity).
Lastly, as article 8.1.3 notification supports the filing of the GIR and the GIR is filed annually, Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions may request Article 8.1.3 notifications to be filed annually. However, jurisdictions are free to simplify the process as they see fit. For instance, they could only require notifications to be filed if there are subsequent changes to the information previously submitted. Under this approach, if no changes are reported, information contained in the latest prior-year notification would be considered valid for the current fiscal year.
The following paragraphs set out the content of the Article 8.1.3 notification template. A. MNE Group information
Provide name of the MNE Group. 1. Name of the MNE Group Explanatory notes: A.1: Report the name of the MNE Group that is commonly used in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. B. Entity Information
Provide information for each Entity that is covered by this notification. Explanatory notes: In this table, the notifying Entity shall provide the name, address and TIN of each Entity that is covered by this notification. The information in the table shall be reported as of last day of the Reporting Fiscal Year, or the last day before the Entity left the MNE Group, except for Item 2, Address, which shall be reported as of the filing date of this notification. If an Entity is a member of more than one MNE Group for a Fiscal Year, that Entity would need to file a separate Article 8.1.3 notification in respect of each MNE Group that it is a member of. This notification should not be submitted if the Filing Constituent Entity files the GIR locally under Article 8.1.1. This is because Art 8.1.3 only applies if Article 8.1.2 turns off the local filing requirement because a GIR has been filed in a jurisdiction with a QCAA in effect. B.2: The format of the address shall be reported in line with relevant local requirements. B.3: The TIN should be the same as the TIN that is disclosed in Table 1.3.2.1.5 of the GIR (i.e. the TIN of the Entity that is used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the local jurisdiction or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number). B.4: Under Article 8.1.3, Constituent Entities located in one jurisdiction may appoint one Constituent Entity that is located in the same jurisdiction (i.e. the Designated Local Entity) to submit the Article 8.1.3 notifications on their behalf. If a Designated Local Entity is appointed to submit the Article 8.1.3 notification on behalf of multiple Entities located in one jurisdiction, note which Entity is the Designated Local Entity in column 4. C. Contact person(s)
Provide information for a contact person of the Designated Local Entity (or a designated representative of the Designated Local Entity). If no Designated Local Entity is appointed, provide this information for each Entity that is included in Table B. Explanatory notes: C.1, C.2: The contact information provided in this notification shall be, as of the filing date of this notification, the most reliable way by which the tax administration may contact the Entity, which could include, for instance, email address, phone number, mailing address, or generic email address of the Entity. C.3: Note here if the contact person is an agent acting on behalf of the notifying Entity. D. UPE Information
Provide information for the UPE of the MNE Group: Explanatory notes: The information in the table shall be reported as of last day of the Reporting Fiscal Year, or the last day before the Entity left the MNE Group, except for Items 3 and 6, which shall be reported as of the filing date of this notification. If the MNE Group is a Multi-Parented MNE Group, this table shall be completed for each UPE. D.1: report the name of the UPE as defined in Article 1.4 and Article 10.1 of the GloBE Model Rules. D.2: report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction where the UPE is located for GloBE purposes. D.3: The format of the address shall be reported in line with relevant local requirements. D.4: report the TIN of the UPE used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the UPE is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number. This is the same TIN as the TIN that is contained in Table 1.3.1.4 of the GIR. D.5: report the TIN (if any) issued to the UPE by the local jurisdiction. This is the same TIN as the TIN that is contained in Table 1.3.1.5 of the GIR. E. DFE Information (if relevant)
If the local jurisdiction will receive the GloBE Information Return via Exchange of Information from the jurisdiction of a DFE (instead of that of the UPE), provide information for the DFE: Explanatory notes: The information in the table shall be reported as of last day of the Reporting Fiscal Year, or the last day before the Entity left the MNE Group, except for Item 3, which shall be reported as of the filing date of this notification. Table D (information for the UPE of the MNE Group) shall still be completed even if the UPE is not filing the GIR and the DFE is filing the GIR centrally instead. E.2: report the 2-character alphabetic country code based on the ISO 3166-1 Alpha 2 standard for the jurisdiction where the DFE is located for GloBE purposes. E.3: The format of the address shall be reported in line with relevant local requirements. E.4: report the TIN of the DFE used for purposes of Covered Taxes in the jurisdiction where the DFE is located for GloBE purposes or, where a TIN is unavailable, a functional equivalent, such as a business/company registration code/number. This is the same TIN as the TIN that is contained in Table 1.1.3 of the GIR if the DFE is the Filing Constituent Entity. E.5: report the TIN (if any) issued to the DFE by the local jurisdiction. F. Period covered by Article 8.1.3 notification

The common understanding on penalties set out in this Annex requires that Implementing Jurisdictions and QDMTT-only Jurisdictions give careful consideration as to the appropriateness of applying penalties or sanctions where an MNE has taken reasonable measures to ensure the correct application of the GloBE Rules or the QDMTT.
The term “reasonable measures” is not defined by this document. Rather it should be understood in light of each jurisdiction’s existing rules and practice. An MNE can demonstrate it has taken reasonable measures if it can demonstrate it has, in good faith, put in place the appropriate systems to understand and comply with the rules. Whether a taxpayer has met the standard of taking reasonable measures must be assessed by a tax administration based on the facts and circumstances of the case. For example, a tax administration could waive the imposition of a penalty on the UPE or Filing Constituent Entity if such Entity fully disclosed the impugned GloBE computation to the tax administration. Other examples where tax administrations may waive penalties or sanctions during the Transition Period, include: • where there is a mistake of fact that is reasonable in the circumstances; • the errors can be reasonably attributed to unfamiliarity with the rules in the initial implementation years (e.g., isolated mathematical or transposition errors); • the requirements of the rule are unclear and the MNE’s actions are based on a reasonable interpretation of the rule; or • the MNE’s actions do not result in a reduction of Top-up Tax liability in the current or future year.
In many cases, jurisdictions already provide, as a matter of law or administrative practice, for penalty relief in accordance with the common understanding. Other jurisdictions may need to adapt these penalty relief requirements to fit within their constitutional and legal system. While the common understanding aims to provide relief for all penalties or sanctions in connection with a GloBE Information Return, the requirement that the MNE must take reasonable measures means that, in practice, the transitional penalty relief would not apply to cases of avoidance, fraud, or abuse. Finally, the transitional penalty relief would not impact the requirement to correct any errors and pay any unpaid/underpaid Top-up Tax (including any interest) for previous Fiscal Years in accordance with requirements of domestic legislation. OECD/G20 Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Project Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy – GloBE Information Return (September 2026) Inclusive Framework on BEPS The GloBE Information Return (GIR) sets out a standardised information return designed to facilitate compliance with and administration of the Global Minimum Tax. Following its initial release in 2023, the Inclusive Framework on BEPS published an updated version of the GIR in January 2025. This revised version of the GIR incorporates the Side-by-Side Package released in January 2026 and it shall only be used for the filing of GIRs with respect to Fiscal Years commencing on or after 31 December 2025.
