Pillar 2 has arrived in South Africa

The release of the highly anticipated discussion document for South Africa pertaining to the implementation of Pillar 2 has not disappointed. Apart from the administrative burden on South African multi-national entities (MNEs), South Africa was one of the more than 130 countries that agreed during October 2021 to implement a minimum 15% corporate tax rate for MNEs with a global turnover in excess of €750 million. This is part of the two-pillar approach that arose out of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that aims to end “ the race to the bottom ” on tax rates that has been published as part of the efforts to tax the digital economy framework.
