A key aspect of Pillar Two is that the GloBE Rules are implemented uniformly by domestic jurisdictions.
From the legislation (both draft and enacted) released to date, whereas there are few and relatively minor differences from the OECD Model Rules, there are significant differences in the extent to which the OECD Administrative Guidance is reflected.
This is to be expected. Jurisdictions have had a number of years to implement the OECD Model Rules, but the lead time from the Administrative Guidance is much shorter.
