Once the top-up tax for the jurisdiction has been calculated, it is then allocated to the constituent entities in the jurisdiction that have net Pillar Two GloBE income (ie not entities that have Pillar Two GloBE losses) so that the charging provisions (ie the income inclusion rule or under-taxed payments rule) can correctly apply.
Note, that if all of the constituent entities in the jurisdiction are wholly owned and the UPE is applying an income inclusion rule, the allocation amongst constituent entities wouldn’t be required given the UPE would simply account for the top-up tax.
Article 5.2.4 of the OECD Model Rules provide that the allocation is based on each relevant constituent entity’s share of the total net Pillar Two GloBE income of the jurisdiction.
Example
In jurisdiction X:
Company A has net Pillar Two GloBE income of 5 million
Company B has net Pillar Two GloBE income of 10 million
Company C has net Pillar Two GloBE income of 20 million
Company D has a net Pillar Two GloBE loss of 5 million
Total jurisdictional top-up tax is 5 million. This is allocated as follows:
Company A = 5 million * 5/35 = 714,286
Company B = 5 million * 10/35 =1,428,571
Company C = 5 million * 20/35 =2,857,143
Company D = 0
Updates to our ‘OECD Administrative Guidance: Domestic Implementation Matrix’ to reflect the latest April 2025 Pillar 2 updates for the UAE and Poland.

The UTPR exclusion for MNEs in their initial phase of international activity does not need to be included in a QDMTT, however, it can be included. In this article we look at the different jurisdictional approaches.
On January 15, 2025, the OECD issued Administrative Guidance that includes a list of jurisdictions that have transitional qualified status for the purposes of the income inclusion rule and domestic minimum tax (including the QDMTT Safe Harbour). This was subsequently updated on March 31, 2025.
On April 10, 2025, the Belgium Ministry of Finance issued the QDMTT Return. This is still considered as draft until published in the Official Gazette but is unlikely to now change as this follows a consultation of a previous draft of the QDMTT Return that lasted until November 8, 2024.
Om March 31, 2025, the Law to Partially Amend the Income Tax Act was published in the Official Gazette. This implements the UTPR and QDMTT from April 1, 2026.
