What it does

A workflow layer for Pillar Two compliance teams.

Use the beta to convert Pillar Two filing obligations, local registrations, safe harbour positions, QDMTT differences and evidence requirements into a practical workplan.

01

Generate workplans

Create Pillar Two workplans from a reporting year, fiscal year-end, UPE jurisdiction, constituent entity jurisdictions and GIR filing strategy.

02

Manage GIR filing routes

Model central filing by a UPE or Designated Filing Entity, local GIR filing, foreign lodgment notifications, exchange monitoring and fallback review.

03

Apply QDMTT V2 tailoring

Show jurisdiction-specific QDMTT local-rule summaries, scope/design facts, review points, warnings and selected workflow items.

04

Assess safe harbours

View safe harbour profiles, start assessments, document reliance decisions and link review points to GIR, QDMTT, IIR, UTPR and payment workflows.

05

Track evidence and approvals

Manage core and conditional evidence, reviewer sign-off, filing receipts, authority correspondence and evidence archive indexes.

06

Coordinate internally and externally

Assign owners, request reviews, add comments, manage documents and create controlled adviser/client request workflows.

Why this exists

Pillar Two is no longer just a research exercise. It is an operating process.

Tax teams need to know what is due, who owns it, what evidence is needed, which filings are local or central, which safe harbours are being assessed, and what still needs approval before submission.

Workflow coverage

Dedicated workflows for Pillar Two obligations.

The beta uses obligation-specific templates rather than treating every filing as a generic return.

GIR

GIR route and filing

Central GIR filing, local GIR filing, GIR notification, foreign lodgment notification, exchange monitoring and fallback filing assessment.

Returns

Local returns

QDMTT/DMTT returns, IIR returns, UTPR returns, combined local top-up tax returns and generic local top-up tax returns where the mechanism is fact-dependent.

Operations

Operational obligations

Registration and portal access, payment and instalment workflows, local additional information reports and post-filing monitoring.

GIR filing strategy

Central, local and mixed GIR filing routes.

The tool lets users determine the GIR filing route and then generates the related workflows without duplicating local filings where central filing applies.

Central filing by UPE or DFE

Select whether the GIR is filed centrally by the Ultimate Parent Entity or by a Designated Filing Entity.

  • Central filing jurisdiction gets central GIR filing workflow
  • Covered jurisdictions receive notification, exchange or fallback workflows where relevant
  • Central filing jurisdiction is not treated as a foreign lodgment jurisdiction by default

Foreign lodgment and notifications

Source-driven double filing relief/foreign lodgment notifications are used where available and route-generated notifications fill gaps only where needed.

  • Foreign lodgment notification workflow
  • GIR notification workflow
  • Notification evidence and authority receipt tracking

Exchange and fallback monitoring

Where a jurisdiction is covered by central filing, the workflow tracks exchange status and fallback local filing risk.

  • Exchange relationship and status monitoring
  • Central filing reference tracking
  • Fallback assessment if exchange fails or is delayed

QDMTT V2 tailoring

Local QDMTT rules without overwhelming the workflow.

QDMTT V2 separates source-profile facts from active review points. It shows the local-rule position while avoiding long generic checklists unless the jurisdiction value creates a real action.

Base QDMTT workflow

A standard QDMTT/DMTT return workflow covers applicability, filer and CE scope, data request, calculation, reconciliation, review, filing and monitoring.

  • Confirm QDMTT status and effective date
  • Confirm local liable/filer entity and scope
  • Prepare QDMTT calculation and return
  • Reconcile to GIR, group model and local accounts

Jurisdiction-specific layer

Local rule profiles add key scope/design facts, review points, source references and selected checklist/evidence items only where value-aware logic supports it.

  • Accounting standard, currency and domestic-deviation review
  • Investment entity, PE, stateless entity and domestic-group scope facts
  • Safe harbour/administrative guidance review points
  • Expanded source profile for audit and technical review

Safe harbours

Profile availability, assess reliance and preserve filings.

Safe harbour availability is treated as profile data. Reliance is a user-controlled assessment decision. Filings and payments are not removed automatically.

Profiles

Safe harbour profile coverage

View safe harbour availability, restrictions, domestic implementation status and workflow impact by jurisdiction.

Assessment

Manual assessment workflow

Start an assessment, collect evidence, document conditions, record review and approve or reject reliance decisions.

Controls

No automatic suppression

Safe harbour positions create review, disclosure, evidence and payment-position tasks. They do not automatically remove filings or payments.

Safe harbour workflow impact

More precise than yes/no.

Safe harbour impact is shown as Direct, Disclosure, Review, Indirect/Review or No direct impact so users understand where a safe harbour needs to be considered.

Safe harbour type Typical workflow impact Product treatment
Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour GIR disclosure/review, QDMTT review where domestic DMTT includes it, IIR/UTPR review and payment-position review. Assessment and cross-reference. No filing/payment suppression.
QDMTT Safe Harbour Direct QDMTT review, GIR disclosure/review, IIR/UTPR residual exposure review and payment-position review. Assessment, QDMTT component review and evidence. No automatic payment conclusion.
Transitional UTPR/NMCE/simplified safe harbours Review and evidence depending on safe harbour type and jurisdiction profile. Generic assessment workflow unless bespoke mapping exists.

Evidence and review

Evidence packs that stay manageable.

Evidence is grouped by obligation and requirement level so users can focus on core items first, then add conditional or full-control support where needed.

Core evidence

Filed returns, receipts, approvals, calculation workbooks, source data packs and key reconciliations.

Conditional evidence

Safe harbour support, local adviser memos, fallback assessments, corrections, restricted-status acknowledgements and jurisdiction-specific support.

Review and approval

Request reviews, track sign-offs, preserve audit trail and document approved reliance decisions or changes in position.

How it works

From filing footprint to controlled workplan.

Set up the group profile

Select reporting year, fiscal year-end, UPE jurisdiction, constituent entity jurisdictions and GIR filing route.

Generate obligations

The tool creates filing, notification, exchange, fallback, return, registration, payment and safe harbour workflows.

Apply local-rule layers

QDMTT V2 tailoring and safe harbour profiles add review points and source detail without flooding the workplan with generic tasks.

Assign and evidence

Assign owners, upload evidence, document conclusions, request review and maintain a defensible record.

Review and approve

Capture technical review, filing approval, safe harbour reliance decisions, payment review and final evidence archive.

Export and report

Use workplan exports, evidence indexes and status reports to manage deadlines, open items and filing progress.

Confidentiality and beta use

Built around controlled workspaces and review.

Pillar Two workflows can include sensitive group, entity, tax and filing information. The beta is designed around account login, controlled workspaces and explicit user actions.

Workspace control

Workplans, evidence, comments, exports and external packages are associated with authorised users and controlled workspaces.

Review-first automation

Generated workflows, QDMTT tailoring and safe harbour profiles support review. They do not replace professional judgement.

Beta safeguards

Users should start with test or non-production data where possible and upload real data only where authorised.

FAQ

Is Pillar Two Workflow free during beta?

Beta access is available to selected users while the workflow, QDMTT tailoring, safe harbour and evidence features are tested. Account access is required.

Does the tool determine final Pillar Two filing obligations?

No. The tool supports workflow generation, compliance tracking, evidence management and review. Outputs should be reviewed by qualified tax professionals before reliance.

Can it handle central GIR filing by a Designated Filing Entity?

Yes. The workflow supports central GIR filing by a UPE or Designated Filing Entity, with covered jurisdictions receiving foreign lodgment, notification, exchange monitoring or fallback workflows where relevant.

What is QDMTT V2 tailoring?

QDMTT V2 tailoring shows jurisdiction-specific QDMTT status, accounting standard treatment, domestic deviations, currency provisions, safe harbour/AG status, scope/design facts and selected review points.

Do safe harbours remove filings or payments?

No. Safe harbour availability creates assessment and review workflows. Reliance requires user review and approval. Filings and payments are not automatically removed.
