Pillar Two
Longview supports the calculation of ETR and top-up tax in support of the OECD’s BEPS Pillar Two model rules. Pillar Two apps, reports and administration can be found within the Global Transparency module in the Longview Client.
This section provides information on these main topics:
- Overview of the Pillar Two process
- Transitional Safe Harbours
- Minimum Rate
- GloBE Revenue
- GloBE Income
- GloBE Temporary Differences
- Adjusted Covered Taxes
- ETR and Top-up Tax Percentage
- Substance-Based Income Exclusion
- Adjusted Jurisdictional Top-up Tax
- Allocated Top-up Tax
Overview of the Pillar Two process
The Pillar Two Model Rules are supported by several inputs, reports, and calculations. The basic flow of the process is:
- Source trial balance data is imported.
- Your system may have additional source data imports.
- If you are using Tax Provision,
- Automations that use source trial balance will execute.
- Tax inputs will trigger additional tax calculations.
- GloBE Temporary Differences will populate with provision balances for deferred tax accounts.
- GloBE Income will be populated using any configured automation.
- GloBE Covered Taxes will be populated using any configured automation.
- GloBE Temporary Differences adjustments will be populated using any configured automation.
- Optionally use GloBE Revenue to enter the GloBE Revenue for each constituent entity.
- This can be used as part of the de minimis test for a jurisdiction.
- Use GloBE Income to enter any manual inputs to GloBE Income for each constituent entity.
- Use GloBE Temporary Differences to enter any manual adjustments to temporary differences for Pillar Two.
- Use Adjusted Covered Taxes to enter any manual inputs to Covered Taxes for each constituent entity.
- The ETR and Top-up Tax Percentage will be calculated automatically by an event.
- The results of these calculations are stored by jurisdiction in the related jurisdiction calculation entity.
- Use Substance-Based Income Exclusion to enter gross values to support the calculation of the substance-based income exclusion.
- The substance-based income exclusion will be calculated and applied to the top-up tax calculation.
- Use Adjusted Jurisdictional Top-up Tax to make any allowed adjustments to the Top-up tax for the jurisdiction.
- Jurisidictional top-up tax is allocated to constituent entities with GloBE Income automatically.
- Use Allocated Top-up Tax to review the Top-up tax allocated to constituent entities.
Transitional Safe Harbours
A starter kit is provided with Longview Pillar Two to deploy hierarchies, events, and apps to support transitional safe harbours.
The starter kit contains the following items:
- A deployment app.
- An adjustment app to enter adjustments to transitional safe harbour values at a jurisdictional level.
- A report app to review transitional safe harbours across jurisdictions.
- An event to transfer source values into the transitional safe harbour accounts.
Before deploying the starter kit, modifications may be required depending on the functionality included in your system.
For further information, see Deploying the transitional safe harbour starter kit.
Minimum Rate
The minimum rate is set at 15%, but an input app has been provided to support potential future rate changes. You can set the minimum rate using:
- P2501 – Minimum Tax Rate input app found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Rates.
The minimum rate is set on install and copied forward during rollover.
GloBE Revenue
The computation of GloBE Revenue is supported by:
- P2210 – GloBE Revenue input app found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Constituent Entities.
- P2200 – GloBE Revenue report found in Global Transparency > Reports > Pillar Two > Constituent Entities.
The accounts for GloBE Revenue are named and ordered using the articles outlined in section 3 of the OECD’s GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.
Input
Specific accounts within the input app will be protected based on elections taken for the jurisdiction the entity resides in, or the entity itself if it is stateless.
Election | Accounts Protected |
|---|---|
3.2.8 Consolidation Adjustment Election | 3.2.8 - Election to consolidate transactions in same jurisdiction and its descendants, if election is not taken |
Report
The GloBE Revenue report allows you to review the GloBE Revenue for:
- A constituent entity
- A stateless constituent entity
- A jurisdiction
- The total of all jurisdictions
GloBE Income
The computation of GloBE income or loss is supported by:
- P2200 – GloBE Income input app found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Constituent Entities.
- P2200 – GloBE Income report found in Global Transparency > Reports > Pillar Two > Constituent Entities.
The accounts for GloBE Income are named and ordered using the articles outlined in section 3 of the OECD’s GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.
Input
Specific accounts within the input app will be protected based on elections taken for the jurisdiction the entity resides in, or the entity itself if it is stateless.

GloBE Temporary Differences
The computation of temporary differences is supported by:
- P2310 – GloBE Temporary Differences input app found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Constituent Entities.

The accounts for Temporary Differences are named and ordered using the articles outlined in section 4 of the OECD’s GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two. GloBE temporary differences provides a mechanism to:
- Show temporary differences per provision and at the global minimum rate to facilitate the calculation of any recast adjustment.
- Adjust deferred taxes below the temporary differences.
- Use the temporary difference adjustments as a source for automation of amounts within covered taxes.
Provision temporary differences are populated in Pillar Two with the element mapping outlined in the following tables.
