Belgium Issues a Draft 7 Page QDMTT Return for Consultation
October 21, 2024
On October 18, 2024, Belgium issued a draft 7-page QDMTT Return for consultation. The consultation lasts until November 8, 2024.
Article 2.10 of the February 2023 OECD Administrative Guidance provides more information on the treatment of the US Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income (GILTI) regime.
This is to be treated as a blended CFC Regime for GloBE purposes. Under the GloBE Rules CFC taxes are allocated to the foreign CFC (subject to the push down restriction). The GloBE Commentary doesn’t go into detail on the allocation and just provides that the CFC tax should be allocated to each CFC based on the owner’s share of the underlying income.
However, determining the allocation can be tricky when there is a blended CFC regime.
The December 2023 OECD Administrative Guidance provides additional information on the application of the Blended CFC rules, including:
– where an MNE Group calculates multiple GloBE Jurisdictional ETRs for different types of Entities located in the same jurisdiction (eg a separate GloBE ETR for investment entities or JVs),
– where an MNE Group is not required to calculate an ETR as they claim the Transitional CbCR Safe Harbour or the QDMTT Safe Harbour, or if the De Minimis exclusion applies
– where a Constituent Entity is subject to a Blended CFC Tax Regime on the income of non-GloBE Entities.

The Pillar Two effective tax rate (ETR) calculation for investment entities is similar to the standard ETR calculation, however, there is an important twist in that the top-up tax is adjusted for minority interests. There is no adjustment for minority interests under the standard ETR calculation. In this article we look at the impact of this.

Top-up taxes under a QDMTT are added to covered taxes of a CFC but only for the purposes of calculating the allocation of Blended CFC Taxes. The way the rules operate is aimed at minimising unrelievable CFC taxes under Blended CFC Regimes. Read more.
