Initial Setup

The account hierarchies deployed contain structures that capture data as described in the Pillar Two Model Rules. Each account hierarchy is deployed with account structures aligned with the articles in the model rules. In cases where it may be desirable to add additional detail to sum up to specific amounts, a default leaf symbol is provided. You may want to add additional accounts and are free to do so using the provided apps.

Entities are managed using the Manage Constituent Entities app. This app is used to:

  • Set the reporting currency (at P2JTotal)
  • Add Pillar Two specific jurisdictions.
  • Add a Constituent entity to a jurisdiction.
  • Add a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Assign an existing Tax Provision entity to a Pillar Two Jurisdiction
  • Assign an existing Transfer Pricing entity to a Pillar Two Jurisdiction
  • Assign an existing Tax Provision entity as a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Assign an existing Transfer Pricing entity as a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Set the status of a jurisdiction or stateless constituent entity to indicate whether it is included or excluded.
    • This value can be different by period.
  • Set the elections taken by a Jurisdiction or Constituent entity.
    • The elections taken can vary by period.
  • Set a group for automation rules, which allows you to override automation rules for a set of entities.
    • To enable automation groups, you need to add groups in the Automation_Groups_P2 hierarchy using Application Administrator.

Accounts are managed using hierarchy specific apps. To add additional detail to the default account structures, use:

  • Manage GloBE Revenue Accounts to add additional detail to the revenue structure.
  • Manage GloBE Income Accounts to add additional detail to the income structure and Manage GloBE Income Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.
  • Manage GloBE Adjusted Covered Taxes Accounts to add additional detail to the covered taxes structure and Manage GloBE Covered Taxes Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.
  • Manage GloBE Substance-Based Income Exclusion Accounts to add additional detail to the structure.
  • Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Accounts to add additional detail to the income structure and Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.

Configuring automation event rules

If you make changes to the source attributes for automation, you may need to modify the standard event rules, or add additional rules.

For example, if you modify the source details for income automation (via system attribute ASP2GIAutoD3Source), to use a hierarchy other than DETAILST, you will need to modify the income automation rules and calculation settings for the change.

To modify the event rules:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.
  2. Select Rules from the Server Explorer.
  3. Navigate to the appropriate rule and update the triggering symbols as required.

If you need to add additional rules, be sure not to conflict with the ranges reserved for standard tax, transfer pricing and pillar two model rules. See the implementer’s guide for more detail.

To modify the calculation settings:

  1. Open Longview Client.
  2. Navigate to Global Transparency > Administration.
  3. Expand Calculations and click on Tax Calculations.
  4. Enable Show Settings in the administration toolbar.
  5. Locate the automation calculation under Pillar Two to be modified and check the box in Active Period. Double-click in the cell for the dimension to update to activate the cell.
  6. Click in the cell to edit and press the End key.
  7. Enter the additional symbols into the list (separated with a comma and ending with ### to include all leaf symbols under a parent).
  8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for any other dimensions that require modification.
  9. Click Save.

Configuring source details and segments for temporary differences

Temporary differences balances are transferred to Pillar Two using the values in total details (DETAILST) and total segments (SEGMENTST). If you want to transfer balances from tax provision using different details and segments you can modify the configuration.

To modify the source details for temporary differences:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.

  2. In server explorer navigate to Attributes > System.

  3. Locate the ASP2TMPTPD3Source system attribute.

  4. Right-click on the attribute and select Set value…. The attribute values dialog appears.

  5. In the Enter New Value field, enter the name of the detail symbol to use as a source for temporary difference transfers. Alternatively, you can click the button to locate the symbol using the symbol selector.

  6. Click the Add to list button to add the symbol to the list of source details.

  7. Repeat for each symbol you wish to use as a source.

  8. Click OK. The attribute values dialog closes.

  9. In the Actions menu, select Maintenance to toggle maintenance mode off and apply the changes.

  10. If temporary differences have already been transferred to Pillar Two with the previous settings, you will need to trigger the ‘Temporary Differences Gross Transfer’ and ‘Temporary Differences Net Transfer’ calculations using the Tax Calculations interface in Longview Client.

To modify the source segments for temporary differences:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.

  2. In server explorer navigate to Attributes > System.

  3. Locate the ASP2TMPTPD5Source system attribute.

  4. Right-click on the attribute and select Set value…. The attribute values dialog appears.

  5. In the Enter New Value field, enter the name of the segment symbol to use as a source for temporary difference transfers. Alternatively, you can click the button to locate the symbol using the symbol selector.

  6. Click the Add to list button to add the symbol to the list of source details.

  7. Repeat for each symbol you wish to use as a source.

  8. Click OK. The attribute values dialog closes.

  9. In the Actions menu, select Maintenance to toggle maintenance mode off and apply the changes.

  10. If temporary differences have already been transferred to Pillar Two with the previous settings, you will need to trigger the ‘Temporary Differences Gross Transfer’ and ‘Temporary Differences Net Transfer’ calculations using the Tax Calculations interface in Longview Client.

To trigger the transfer of temporary differences to Pillar Two:

  1. Launch Longview Client.

  2. Select the Administration category from the left navigation bar.

  3. Expand Calculations in the navigation pane.

  4. Click Tax Calculations. The Tax Calculations interface appears in the workspace.

  5. In the Entities field, select the entities you want to calculate. To calculate all entities at once select P2JTotal.

  6. Click Update to apply your selection.

  7. In the Currencies field, select Currencies and click Update to apply your selection.

  8. Check the Active Period box for Temporary Difference Gross Transfer.

  9. Check the Active Period box for Temporary Difference Net Transfer.

  10. Click Run Calculations. The temporary difference transfer calculations execute.

  11. Click Close on the confirmation message.

Foreign Exchange

In pillar two, foreign exchange is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the value of system attribute ASP2FX to TRUE.

The impact of this setting is as follows:

ASP2FX Value = FALSE

ASP2FX Value = TRUE

Constituent entity input is done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Constituent entity input is done in functional currency as defined by the symbol attribute ZGPNativeCurrency value set on the constituent entity

Constituent entity calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Constituent entity calculations are done in functional currency as defined by the symbol attribute ZGPNativeCurrency value set on the constituent entity

Automations are processing in reporting currency

Automations are processed in functional currency and reporting currency.

No foreign currency translation

Constituent entity input and calculation results are translated to the reporting currency

Jurisdiction level input and calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Jurisdiction level input and calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

By default, all reports in Pillar Two use reporting currency. If you enable foreign exchange you may want to update the constituent entity reports to use functional currency or create duplicate reports for analysts who will be working in functional currency.

Configuring foreign exchange rates used in Pillar Two

The foreign exchange rates used in Pillar Two are configured using:

  • XCC0101/XCC1101 – FX Method Rate Table found in Global Transparency > Administration > Foreign Exchange

If you have tax provision this table will also include the configuration for tax provision elements. Method rate configuration for Pillar Two is found in two groups:

  • TRNELE_P2 – which contains the elements used for temporary differences.

  • TRNELE_SUMM – which contains the pillar two summary element.

By default, all pillar two elements are translated using the Pillar Two foreign exchange rate.

To modify the rate used for an element:

  1. Double-click on the rate you wish to change.
  2. Open the selection list that appears in the cell.
  3. Select a different rate.
  4. Repeat for other elements you wish to modify,
  5. Once finished updating rates used click Submit to save the changes.

To apply the changes to existing data, you will need to manually execute Pillar Two foreign exchange calculations from the Tax Calculations interface.

Updating foreign exchange rates in Pillar Two

Foreign exchange rates for Pillar Two are updating using:

  • P2100 – FX Rates – Pillar Two found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Rates.

When you click on P2100 – FX Rates – Pillar Two you will be prompted to select an entity from your available list of entities, unless you have a default input entity defined in your default symbols configuration. The input will open in the workspace and display the foreign exchange rates for each translation in the system for the current period. Your selected entity will be displayed in the rows dimension, along with any of its descendants, and the translations will be displayed in the columns dimension.

Note: If you are using multiple exchange rates for Pillar Two the input app may be configured with a different orientation.

Enter the appropriate translation rates (for example, USD from CAD) for each entity and when you are finished, click Submit.

Constituent Entities

The Manage Constituency Entities app is used to:

  • Manage the jurisdictions in scope for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the constituent entities within jurisdictions for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the stateless constituent entities in scope for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the elections for jurisdictions and stateless constituent entities in scope for Pillar Two model rules, by period.
  • Export the jurisdictions, constituent entities, and their elections to a file for import to another system or period.

In addition, for a jurisdiction, you can set its status (for a specific period) to:

  • Included – to include the jurisdiction and its constituent entities in Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.
  • Excluded (Safe Harbour) – to exclude the jurisdiction and its constituent entities from Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.
  • Excluded (de minimis) – to exclude the jurisdiction and its constituent entities from Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.

You can also take specific elections for jurisdictions and stateless entities. These elections will protect specific accounts from input as outlined in GloBE Income, Adjusted Covered Taxes, and Adjusted Jurisdictional Top-up Tax.

Understanding the constituent entity structure

The constituent entity root symbol is P2JTotal and contains jurisdictions, constituent entities, stateless constituent entities, and jurisdictional calculation entities.

The constituent entity structure has the following restrictions:

  • Symbols directly under the root (P2JTotal) must be either:
    • A jurisdiction
    • A stateless constituent entity
  • Symbols under a jurisdiction must be:
    • A constituent entity
    • A jurisdictional calculation entity

Jurisdictions

A jurisdiction is parent entity directly under the root symbol that has one or more constituent entities and a jurisdictional calculation entity as its direct descendants.

A jurisdiction can have a status of Included, Excluded – de minimis, or Excluded – safe harbour. Excluded jurisdictions and all their constituent entities are excluded from calculations.

Elections are set at the jurisdiction level for convenience, as any election taken by a constituent entity applies to all constituent entities in the same jurisdiction.

The Type, Main Entity and MNE Group Parent fields are not defined for a jurisdiction.

Jurisdictional calculation entity

A jurisdictional calculation entity is a leaf entity under a jurisdiction entity that is managed by the system. This entity holds the results of jurisdiction-level calculations (top-up tax, ETR and top-up tax percentage).

The description and sort order of this entity can be modified.

Constituent entities

A constituent entity is leaf entity under a jurisdiction parent entity.

A constituent entity can have a status of Included, Excluded Entity or Election. Excluded constituent entities are excluded from calculations, but not rollup.

The status of a constituent entity affects other fields as follows:

  • A constituent entity with a status of Included can optionally have a type of Hybrid, Investment, Permanent Establishment, Reverse-Hybrid, or Tax Transparent. The default is blank, which indicates a constituent entity that does not meet the criteria for any of the specific types outlined by the Pillar Two model rules.
    • An Included entity that is a permanent establishment must indicate its Main Entity in the provided field.
  • A constituent entity with a status of Excluded Entity must have a type of 1.5.1 Election or 1.5.2 Election to indicate which subsection of the Excluded Entity section of model rules pertain to it.
  • A constituent entity with a status of Election must have a type of 1.5.3 Election indicating that it would have been excluded under section 1.5.2. but is being included by election.

Any constituent entity other than an entity that is an Investment Entity or Permanent Establishment can be an MNE Group Parent. For each entity that is a group parent indicate whether it is:

  • The Ultimate Group Parent (only a single entity can have this designation)
  • An Intermediate Parent Entity
  • A Partially-Owned Parent Entity

For further details see GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.

Stateless constituent entities

A stateless constituent entity is a leaf entity not under any jurisdiction parent entity.

A stateless constituent entity can have a status of Included or Excluded – safe harbour.

The status of a stateless constituent entity affects other fields as follows:

  • A stateless constituent entity can optionally have a type of Hybrid,  Permanent Establishment, Reverse-Hybrid, or Tax Transparent. The default is blank, which indicates a stateless constituent entity that does not meet the criteria for any of the specific types outlined by the Pillar Two model rules.

Any stateless constituent entity other than an entity that is an entity that is a Permanent Establishment can be an MNE Group Parent. For each entity that is a group parent indicate whether it is:

  • The Ultimate Group Parent (only a single entity can have this designation)
  • An Intermediate Parent Entity
  • A Partially-Owned Parent Entity

For further details, see GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.

Importing constituent entities

The Import option in the Manage GloBE Constituent Entities dialog allows you to import jurisdictions, constituent entities, and their related settings from a .csv file.

To import constituent entities:

  1. Click on Manage constituent entities. A prompt appears.
  2. Select the Import option.
  3. Select the file you wish to import.
  4. To skip confirmation of each new parent assignment, check the Automatically confirm parent assignment option.
  5. Select the target period for jurisdiction and constituent entity settings contained in the source file.
  6. Click OK. A table displays showing the summary of all actions performed by the import.

  • Manage the temporary difference adjustment accounts in scope for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Export the accounts to a file for import to another system.
  • Import accounts from a file to update the GloBE Temporary Differences structure.

The Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Accounts app provides the ability to create and modify custom accounts as well as the ability to edit the properties of existing accounts where permitted.

Understanding the GloBE temporary differences account structure

The GloBE Temporary Differences Account root symbol is P2TMP and the structure of the hierarchy is designed to help bridge the differences between temporary differences for tax provision and the mechanism for addressing temporary differences in section 4.4 of the OECD’s Model Globe Rules.

This hierarchy contains any temporary differences you created for tax provision, and some out of box accounts that are used by the system for reporting and calculations. Certain out of box accounts allow for some modifications whereas others can not be changed.

The hierarchy root symbol (P2TMP):

  • Cannot be deleted.
  • Cannot have new symbols assigned to it.

The following accounts are protected:

  • P2TMP4.4.1 and all its descendants as these are managed by tax provision.

These symbols:

  • Cannot be deleted.
  • Cannot be modified.
  • Cannot have new symbols assigned to them.
  • Cannot be assigned to a different parent.

The following symbols are protected from being deleted and modified:

  • P2TMP4.1.1.A
  • P2TMP4.1.1.B
  • P2TMP4.1.1.C
  • P2TMP4.1.1.D
  • P2TMP4.1.1.E

Importing GloBE temporary difference accounts

The import option in the Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Accounts dialog allows you to create and update GloBE Temporary Differences accounts in the database from a .csv file. For efficiency, your source file should only contain accounts under P2TMP4.1.1.A P2TMP4.1.1.E.

To import accounts:

  1. Click on Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Accounts. A prompt appears.
  2. For Option, select Import.
  3. Select the .csv file to import from.
  4. To skip confirmation of each new parent assignment, check the Automatically confirm parent assignment option.
  5. Click OK. A table will be displayed showing the summary of all actions performed by the import.

Note:

Managing GloBE temporary difference automations

GloBE temporary difference accounts can be calculated rather than manually input or imported. The Manage GloBE temporary differences automations app allows you to set accounts to be calculated using source data from your trial balance or tax provision results.

GloBE temporary difference automations are period specific and can be overridden:

  • For an entity.
  • For an automation group if automation groups exist.
    • Entity overrides supersede automation group overrides.

To manage automations:

  1. Click on Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Automations. A prompt appears.
  2. Select the GloBE temporary difference accounts to manage.
  3. Select the period to update automations for. In the Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Automations table, the current automations for the selected accounts are displayed.

Managing default settings

  1. From the Default Settings tab, click Add to add automation default settings for an account.

Note:

  • You cannot automate accounts within the Temporary Differences per Provision sub-hierarchy as these amounts are calculated from tax provision.

  • You can add settings on an account that has similar settings to another account by selecting an existing row and clicking duplicate.

  1. For each account fill in the following fields:

    1. Account: Select the account for which you would like to set default automation settings.

    2. Automate: Check this option if this account will be automated. For the default settings, the automation check box is selected by default. Automated accounts will have data automatically transferred from the defined source to the target account.

    3. %: Enter the percentage you want to apply to the source amount prior to transferring it to the target account. The % value entered must be a number between -100 and 100.

    4. Source Accounts: Specify the source account(s). You can select one or more parent or leaf symbols.

    5. Source DETAILS: Specify the source detail symbol(s). The source details column will display if attribute ASP2TMPAutoD3Source is set to a parent symbol or contains multiple symbols.

    6. Source SEGMENTS: Specify the source segment symbol(s). The source segments column will display if attribute ASP2TMPAutoD5Source is set to a parent symbol or contains multiple symbols.

  2. Click the delete button.
  3. Automation settings are not deleted until you click Apply.

Pillar Two Rollover

At the close of each period, the system needs to be moved from the current time period into the next. This process is called a rollover. The rollover is run at period end and at year end. The Pillar Two rollover process will advance the period and/or year independently of Tax Provision. Prior to executing the rollover, it is advised that you take a backup of the database, either using the export function in server manager or taking a RDBMS backup.

The Pillar Two Period End rollover process performs the following steps:

  1. Updates time period alternate hierarchies.
  2. Updates these system attributes to reflect the current period:
    1. ASP2Cper (Time Period - Current Period Symbol)
  3. Copies the minimum tax rate to the next period.
  4. Copies the Substance-Based Income Exclusion rates to the next period.
  5. Copies the QDMTT minimum tax rate to the next period.
  6. Copies the QDMTT Substance-Based Income Exclusion rates to the next period.
  7. Copies automations settings for GloBE Income to the next period.
  8. Copies automations settings for GloBE Covered Taxes to the next period.
  9. Copies automations settings for GloBE Temporary Differences to the next period.
  10. Copies jurisdiction and constituent entity settings to the next period.

If the rollover is a year end rollover, and the rollover for tax provision has not been executed yet, the Pillar Two rollover process will also:

  1. Create time period symbols for next year for the actuals timeframe (Months, Quarters, Year, YTD Months, YTD Year, and Return time periods).
  2. Delete the seventh prior year time period symbols for actuals timeframe (Months, Quarters, Year, YTD Months, YTD Year, and Return time periods).

Note: In a system with Tax Provision and Pillar Two, whichever rollover is executed first will perform the create and delete steps.

The following time period hierarchies are updated during the period end rollover:

Hierarchy

Old symbol removed

New symbol added

CYP2PER - Pillar Two Process Current Period

Current period symbol, e.g., A2303YTD

New current period symbol, e.g., A2306YTD 

The following time period hierarchies are updated during the year end rollover:

Hierarchy

Old symbol removed

New symbol added

ActualYTD - Actual YTD Time Periods

Seventh prior year time period symbols, e.g., CP17

New YTD symbols, e.g., CP24

Preparing for a rollover

Before you perform a rollover in Longview Tax, make sure the following conditions are met:

  • Ensure that all data intersections and the associated criteria have been defined for the period end or year end and return rollovers.
  • Inform all users that a rollover is imminent and make sure they have time to exit the system, then ensure no users are in the system.
  • Ensure all events are completed prior to beginning the rollover.
  • Ensure all data submissions are completed prior to beginning the rollover.
  • Ensure there are no outstanding locks.
  • Create a backup of the Longview production database and copy to a safe place by running an Export through Longview Server Manager.

Running the tax rollover process (period end and year end)

You can use the Rollover tool to run the pillar two rollover process for the end of the current period. The rollover procedure in the Rollover tool is the same for period end and year end rollovers.

The rollover type in the Rollover tool is determined by the following:

  • If the current period is the last period for the year in the ASP2CPer attribute, the rollover is a year end rollover.
  • If the current period is any other period in the ASP2CPer attribute, the rollover is a period end rollover.

Caution: Be sure to have a complete and recent backup of your database prior to running the rollover process.

To perform a rollover

  1. In the Global Transparency navigation pane, click Administration.
  2. Expand Pillar Two, then expand Rollover.
  3. Click Rollover. The Rollover tool opens in the workspace. If there are any locks in the target period, a message displays. Locks can prevent the rollover from running successfully. Click Data Locks to open the Data Locks tool and review the conflicting locks. Clicking Data Locks will end the rollover process.
  4. If there are any user submissions in progress, a message displays. You must wait until all user submissions are complete before you start the rollover process. Click User Submissions to open the User Submissions tool and monitor any user submissions in progress. Clicking User Submissions will end the rollover process.
  5. If there are any events in progress a message displays. You must wait until all events are complete before you start the rollover process. Click Events to open the Events tool and monitor any events in progress. Clicking Events will end the rollover process.
  6. Click Start Rollover. The progress message appears. When the rollover is complete, the summary page appears.

    Note: If the rollover fails, you must restore the database by running an Import of your backup through Longview Server Manager. For more information, see the Longview Server Manager Guide.

  7. If you want to view the rollover log file, click View Log File. The log file is saved to the following location:

    C:\Users\<userID>\Documents\Longview\Rollover\

  8. When you are finished, click Close.

Deploying the transitional safe harbour starter kit

Before deploying the transitional safe harbours starter kit, review the following items and adjust as necessary for your system:

  • Open the Deploy Transitional Safe Harbours app in Longview Designer to review the event rules deployed.
    • By default, event rules will be deployed to transfer:
      • CbCR total revenue, if available.
      • CBCR profit before tax, if available.
      • UTP, if available.
      • Substance-based income exclusion.
    • Invisible: New for v24.4By default, event rules will be deployed to IDs: 5950170-5950176.
    • To deploy additional rules, you will need to:
      • Modify the EventFiles procedure to include additional rule files.
      • Add the additional rules files as Supporting Files.
      • The most obvious addition is to add a rule that triggers on change to income tax expense as this is one of the feeds to calculate the simplified ETR.

No other changes should be required. You can run the deployment app from Designer via the Run button or publish the app and run it from the navigation pane of the Longview Client.

The transitional safe harbours deployment app will perform the following actions:

  • Deploy the transitional safe harbours account hierarchy (P2TSH).
  • Publish the Transitional Safe Harbours adjustments app to the Analysts and CorporateAnalysts groups within the Jurisdictions folder of data collection.
  • Publish the Transitional Safe Harbours across jurisdictions app to the Analysts and CorporateAnalysts groups within the Jurisdictions folder of reports.
  • Deploy the event rules for executing the transitional safe harbour transfers.

For efficient event execution the rule merging should be updated for the rules added to support transitional safe harbours. The RuleMerges document in the Supporting Files folder contains the configuration assuming all the default rules were deployed. You can copy the text from RuleMerges and paste it into the Event Rue Merging Setup window in Application Administrator. Adjust as necessary if not all rules were deployed, or you deployed any additional rules for the transitional safe harbours transfer.

Additional modifications will be required if you want to add additional transfers into the P2TSHTransfer event.

To modify the transitional safe harbours event, open the event P2TSHTransfer in Longview Designer:

By default, the event assumes all the default sources and included configuration to only run the transfers for the source symbols that exist.

The following source symbols are configured into the event (you can review these in the Main procedure):

  • CbCR Revenue: CbC_TotalRevenue (variable: sourceP2TSHDMTRCbCR).
  • CBCR Profit or Loss before Tax: CbC_PnLB4Tax (variable: sourceP2TSHDMTRCbCPBT).
  • Substance-based Income Exclusion: P2SBIE5.3.1 1 (variable: sourceP2TSHRPTSBIE53).
  • Uncertain tax positions (IAS): NatAddCurrentM004T_IAS, NatAddCurrentM005_IAS, NatAddCurrentM006_IAS (variable: sourceP2TSHSETRTUTP).
  • Uncertain tax positions (ASC): NatAddCurrentM005T_ASC, NatAddCurrentM006_ASC, NatAddCurrentM007_ASC (variable: sourceP2TSHSETRTUTP).

In addition, there is a place to configure the source for income tax expense (variables: sourceP2TSHSETRTITE_Account and sourceP2TSHSETRTITE_Element).

Initial Setup

The account hierarchies deployed contain structures that capture data as described in the Pillar Two Model Rules. Each account hierarchy is deployed with account structures aligned with the articles in the model rules. In cases where it may be desirable to add additional detail to sum up to specific amounts, a default leaf symbol is provided. You may want to add additional accounts and are free to do so using the provided apps.

Entities are managed using the Manage Constituent Entities app. This app is used to:

  • Set the reporting currency (at P2JTotal)
  • Add Pillar Two specific jurisdictions.
  • Add a Constituent entity to a jurisdiction.
  • Add a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Assign an existing Tax Provision entity to a Pillar Two Jurisdiction
  • Assign an existing Transfer Pricing entity to a Pillar Two Jurisdiction
  • Assign an existing Tax Provision entity as a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Assign an existing Transfer Pricing entity as a Stateless Constituent entity.
  • Set the status of a jurisdiction or stateless constituent entity to indicate whether it is included or excluded.
    • This value can be different by period.
  • Set the elections taken by a Jurisdiction or Constituent entity.
    • The elections taken can vary by period.
  • Set a group for automation rules, which allows you to override automation rules for a set of entities.
    • To enable automation groups, you need to add groups in the Automation_Groups_P2 hierarchy using Application Administrator.

Accounts are managed using hierarchy specific apps. To add additional detail to the default account structures, use:

  • Manage GloBE Revenue Accounts to add additional detail to the revenue structure.
  • Manage GloBE Income Accounts to add additional detail to the income structure and Manage GloBE Income Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.
  • Manage GloBE Adjusted Covered Taxes Accounts to add additional detail to the covered taxes structure and Manage GloBE Covered Taxes Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.
  • Manage GloBE Substance-Based Income Exclusion Accounts to add additional detail to the structure.
  • Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Accounts to add additional detail to the income structure and Manage GloBE Temporary Differences Automations to define calculations for any accounts for which source data exists.

Configuring automation event rules

If you make changes to the source attributes for automation, you may need to modify the standard event rules, or add additional rules.

For example, if you modify the source details for income automation (via system attribute ASP2GIAutoD3Source), to use a hierarchy other than DETAILST, you will need to modify the income automation rules and calculation settings for the change.

To modify the event rules:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.
  2. Select Rules from the Server Explorer.
  3. Navigate to the appropriate rule and update the triggering symbols as required.

If you need to add additional rules, be sure not to conflict with the ranges reserved for standard tax, transfer pricing and pillar two model rules. See the implementer’s guide for more detail.

To modify the calculation settings:

  1. Open Longview Client.
  2. Navigate to Global Transparency > Administration.
  3. Expand Calculations and click on Tax Calculations.
  4. Enable Show Settings in the administration toolbar.
  5. Locate the automation calculation under Pillar Two to be modified and check the box in Active Period. Double-click in the cell for the dimension to update to activate the cell.
  6. Click in the cell to edit and press the End key.
  7. Enter the additional symbols into the list (separated with a comma and ending with ### to include all leaf symbols under a parent).
  8. Repeat steps 5 to 7 for any other dimensions that require modification.
  9. Click Save.

Configuring source details and segments for temporary differences

Temporary differences balances are transferred to Pillar Two using the values in total details (DETAILST) and total segments (SEGMENTST). If you want to transfer balances from tax provision using different details and segments you can modify the configuration.

To modify the source details for temporary differences:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.

  2. In server explorer navigate to Attributes > System.

  3. Locate the ASP2TMPTPD3Source system attribute.

  4. Right-click on the attribute and select Set value…. The attribute values dialog appears.

  5. In the Enter New Value field, enter the name of the detail symbol to use as a source for temporary difference transfers. Alternatively, you can click the button to locate the symbol using the symbol selector.

  6. Click the Add to list button to add the symbol to the list of source details.

  7. Repeat for each symbol you wish to use as a source.

  8. Click OK. The attribute values dialog closes.

  9. In the Actions menu, select Maintenance to toggle maintenance mode off and apply the changes.

  10. If temporary differences have already been transferred to Pillar Two with the previous settings, you will need to trigger the ‘Temporary Differences Gross Transfer’ and ‘Temporary Differences Net Transfer’ calculations using the Tax Calculations interface in Longview Client.

To modify the source segments for temporary differences:

  1. Open Longview Application Administrator.

  2. In server explorer navigate to Attributes > System.

  3. Locate the ASP2TMPTPD5Source system attribute.

  4. Right-click on the attribute and select Set value…. The attribute values dialog appears.

  5. In the Enter New Value field, enter the name of the segment symbol to use as a source for temporary difference transfers. Alternatively, you can click the button to locate the symbol using the symbol selector.

  6. Click the Add to list button to add the symbol to the list of source details.

  7. Repeat for each symbol you wish to use as a source.

  8. Click OK. The attribute values dialog closes.

  9. In the Actions menu, select Maintenance to toggle maintenance mode off and apply the changes.

  10. If temporary differences have already been transferred to Pillar Two with the previous settings, you will need to trigger the ‘Temporary Differences Gross Transfer’ and ‘Temporary Differences Net Transfer’ calculations using the Tax Calculations interface in Longview Client.

To trigger the transfer of temporary differences to Pillar Two:

  1. Launch Longview Client.

  2. Select the Administration category from the left navigation bar.

  3. Expand Calculations in the navigation pane.

  4. Click Tax Calculations. The Tax Calculations interface appears in the workspace.

  5. In the Entities field, select the entities you want to calculate. To calculate all entities at once select P2JTotal.

  6. Click Update to apply your selection.

  7. In the Currencies field, select Currencies and click Update to apply your selection.

  8. Check the Active Period box for Temporary Difference Gross Transfer.

  9. Check the Active Period box for Temporary Difference Net Transfer.

  10. Click Run Calculations. The temporary difference transfer calculations execute.

  11. Click Close on the confirmation message.

Foreign Exchange

In pillar two, foreign exchange is disabled by default. It can be enabled by setting the value of system attribute ASP2FX to TRUE.

The impact of this setting is as follows:

ASP2FX Value = FALSE

ASP2FX Value = TRUE

Constituent entity input is done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Constituent entity input is done in functional currency as defined by the symbol attribute ZGPNativeCurrency value set on the constituent entity

Constituent entity calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Constituent entity calculations are done in functional currency as defined by the symbol attribute ZGPNativeCurrency value set on the constituent entity

Automations are processing in reporting currency

Automations are processed in functional currency and reporting currency.

No foreign currency translation

Constituent entity input and calculation results are translated to the reporting currency

Jurisdiction level input and calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

Jurisdiction level input and calculations are done in reporting currency, as defined by the system attribute ASP2ReportingCurrency

By default, all reports in Pillar Two use reporting currency. If you enable foreign exchange you may want to update the constituent entity reports to use functional currency or create duplicate reports for analysts who will be working in functional currency.

Configuring foreign exchange rates used in Pillar Two

The foreign exchange rates used in Pillar Two are configured using:

  • XCC0101/XCC1101 – FX Method Rate Table found in Global Transparency > Administration > Foreign Exchange

If you have tax provision this table will also include the configuration for tax provision elements. Method rate configuration for Pillar Two is found in two groups:

  • TRNELE_P2 – which contains the elements used for temporary differences.

  • TRNELE_SUMM – which contains the pillar two summary element.

By default, all pillar two elements are translated using the Pillar Two foreign exchange rate.

To modify the rate used for an element:

  1. Double-click on the rate you wish to change.
  2. Open the selection list that appears in the cell.
  3. Select a different rate.
  4. Repeat for other elements you wish to modify,
  5. Once finished updating rates used click Submit to save the changes.

To apply the changes to existing data, you will need to manually execute Pillar Two foreign exchange calculations from the Tax Calculations interface.

Updating foreign exchange rates in Pillar Two

Foreign exchange rates for Pillar Two are updating using:

  • P2100 – FX Rates – Pillar Two found in Global Transparency > Data Collection > Pillar Two > Rates.

When you click on P2100 – FX Rates – Pillar Two you will be prompted to select an entity from your available list of entities, unless you have a default input entity defined in your default symbols configuration. The input will open in the workspace and display the foreign exchange rates for each translation in the system for the current period. Your selected entity will be displayed in the rows dimension, along with any of its descendants, and the translations will be displayed in the columns dimension.

Note: If you are using multiple exchange rates for Pillar Two the input app may be configured with a different orientation.

Enter the appropriate translation rates (for example, USD from CAD) for each entity and when you are finished, click Submit.

Constituent Entities

The Manage Constituency Entities app is used to:

  • Manage the jurisdictions in scope for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the constituent entities within jurisdictions for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the stateless constituent entities in scope for Pillar Two Model Rules
  • Manage the elections for jurisdictions and stateless constituent entities in scope for Pillar Two model rules, by period.
  • Export the jurisdictions, constituent entities, and their elections to a file for import to another system or period.

In addition, for a jurisdiction, you can set its status (for a specific period) to:

  • Included – to include the jurisdiction and its constituent entities in Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.
  • Excluded (Safe Harbour) – to exclude the jurisdiction and its constituent entities from Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.
  • Excluded (de minimis) – to exclude the jurisdiction and its constituent entities from Pillar Two Model Rules calculations.

You can also take specific elections for jurisdictions and stateless entities. These elections will protect specific accounts from input as outlined in GloBE Income, Adjusted Covered Taxes, and Adjusted Jurisdictional Top-up Tax.

Understanding the constituent entity structure

The constituent entity root symbol is P2JTotal and contains jurisdictions, constituent entities, stateless constituent entities, and jurisdictional calculation entities.

The constituent entity structure has the following restrictions:

  • Symbols directly under the root (P2JTotal) must be either:
    • A jurisdiction
    • A stateless constituent entity
  • Symbols under a jurisdiction must be:
    • A constituent entity
    • A jurisdictional calculation entity

Jurisdictions

A jurisdiction is parent entity directly under the root symbol that has one or more constituent entities and a jurisdictional calculation entity as its direct descendants.

A jurisdiction can have a status of Included, Excluded – de minimis, or Excluded – safe harbour. Excluded jurisdictions and all their constituent entities are excluded from calculations.

Elections are set at the jurisdiction level for convenience, as any election taken by a constituent entity applies to all constituent entities in the same jurisdiction.

The Type, Main Entity and MNE Group Parent fields are not defined for a jurisdiction.

Jurisdictional calculation entity

A jurisdictional calculation entity is a leaf entity under a jurisdiction entity that is managed by the system. This entity holds the results of jurisdiction-level calculations (top-up tax, ETR and top-up tax percentage).

The description and sort order of this entity can be modified.

Constituent entities

A constituent entity is leaf entity under a jurisdiction parent entity.

A constituent entity can have a status of Included, Excluded Entity or Election. Excluded constituent entities are excluded from calculations, but not rollup.

The status of a constituent entity affects other fields as follows:

  • A constituent entity with a status of Included can optionally have a type of Hybrid, Investment, Permanent Establishment, Reverse-Hybrid, or Tax Transparent. The default is blank, which indicates a constituent entity that does not meet the criteria for any of the specific types outlined by the Pillar Two model rules.
    • An Included entity that is a permanent establishment must indicate its Main Entity in the provided field.
  • A constituent entity with a status of Excluded Entity must have a type of 1.5.1 Election or 1.5.2 Election to indicate which subsection of the Excluded Entity section of model rules pertain to it.
  • A constituent entity with a status of Election must have a type of 1.5.3 Election indicating that it would have been excluded under section 1.5.2. but is being included by election.

Any constituent entity other than an entity that is an Investment Entity or Permanent Establishment can be an MNE Group Parent. For each entity that is a group parent indicate whether it is:

  • The Ultimate Group Parent (only a single entity can have this designation)
  • An Intermediate Parent Entity
  • A Partially-Owned Parent Entity

For further details see GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.

Stateless constituent entities

A stateless constituent entity is a leaf entity not under any jurisdiction parent entity.

A stateless constituent entity can have a status of Included or Excluded – safe harbour.

The status of a stateless constituent entity affects other fields as follows:

  • A stateless constituent entity can optionally have a type of Hybrid,  Permanent Establishment, Reverse-Hybrid, or Tax Transparent. The default is blank, which indicates a stateless constituent entity that does not meet the criteria for any of the specific types outlined by the Pillar Two model rules.

Any stateless constituent entity other than an entity that is an entity that is a Permanent Establishment can be an MNE Group Parent. For each entity that is a group parent indicate whether it is:

  • The Ultimate Group Parent (only a single entity can have this designation)
  • An Intermediate Parent Entity
  • A Partially-Owned Parent Entity

For further details, see GloBE Model Rules for Pillar Two.

Importing constituent entities

The Import option in the Manage GloBE Constituent Entities dialog allows you to import jurisdictions, constituent entities, and their related settings from a .csv file.

To import constituent entities:

  1. Click on Manage constituent entities. A prompt appears.
  2. Select the Import option.

Pillar Two Rollover

At the close of each period, the system needs to be moved from the current time period into the next. This process is called a rollover. The rollover is run at period end and at year end. The Pillar Two rollover process will advance the period and/or year independently of Tax Provision. Prior to executing the rollover, it is advised that you take a backup of the database, either using the export function in server manager or taking a RDBMS backup.

The Pillar Two Period End rollover process performs the following steps:

  1. Updates time period alternate hierarchies.
  2. Updates these system attributes to reflect the current period:
    1. ASP2Cper (Time Period - Current Period Symbol)
  3. Copies the minimum tax rate to the next period.
  4. Copies the Substance-Based Income Exclusion rates to the next period.
  5. Copies the QDMTT minimum tax rate to the next period.
  6. Copies the QDMTT Substance-Based Income Exclusion rates to the next period.
  7. Copies automations settings for GloBE Income to the next period.
  8. Copies automations settings for GloBE Covered Taxes to the next period.
  9. Copies automations settings for GloBE Temporary Differences to the next period.
  10. Copies jurisdiction and constituent entity settings to the next period.

If the rollover is a year end rollover, and the rollover for tax provision has not been executed yet, the Pillar Two rollover process will also:

  1. Create time period symbols for next year for the actuals timeframe (Months, Quarters, Year, YTD Months, YTD Year, and Return time periods).
  2. Delete the seventh prior year time period symbols for actuals timeframe (Months, Quarters, Year, YTD Months, YTD Year, and Return time periods).

Note: In a system with Tax Provision and Pillar Two, whichever rollover is executed first will perform the create and delete steps.

The following time period hierarchies are updated during the period end rollover:

Hierarchy

Old symbol removed

New symbol added

CYP2PER - Pillar Two Process Current Period

Current period symbol, e.g., A2303YTD

New current period symbol, e.g., A2306YTD 

The following time period hierarchies are updated during the year end rollover:

Hierarchy

Old symbol removed

New symbol added

ActualYTD - Actual YTD Time Periods

Seventh prior year time period symbols, e.g., CP17

New YTD symbols, e.g., CP24

Preparing for a rollover

Before you perform a rollover in Longview Tax, make sure the following conditions are met:

  • Ensure that all data intersections and the associated criteria have been defined for the period end or year end and return rollovers.
  • Inform all users that a rollover is imminent and make sure they have time to exit the system, then ensure no users are in the system.
  • Ensure all events are completed prior to beginning the rollover.
  • Ensure all data submissions are completed prior to beginning the rollover.
  • Ensure there are no outstanding locks.
  • Create a backup of the Longview production database and copy to a safe place by running an Export through Longview Server Manager.

Running the tax rollover process (period end and year end)

You can use the Rollover tool to run the pillar two rollover process for the end of the current period. The rollover procedure in the Rollover tool is the same for period end and year end rollovers.

The rollover type in the Rollover tool is determined by the following:

  • If the current period is the last period for the year in the ASP2CPer attribute, the rollover is a year end rollover.
  • If the current period is any other period in the ASP2CPer attribute, the rollover is a period end rollover.

Caution: Be sure to have a complete and recent backup of your database prior to running the rollover process.

To perform a rollover

  1. In the Global Transparency navigation pane, click Administration.
  2. Expand Pillar Two, then expand Rollover.
  3. Click Rollover. The Rollover tool opens in the workspace. If there are any locks in the target period, a message displays. Locks can prevent the rollover from running successfully. Click Data Locks to open the Data Locks tool and review the conflicting locks. Clicking Data Locks will end the rollover process.
  4. If there are any user submissions in progress, a message displays. You must wait until all user submissions are complete before you start the rollover process. Click User Submissions to open the User Submissions tool and monitor any user submissions in progress. Clicking User Submissions will end the rollover process.
  5. If there are any events in progress a message displays. You must wait until all events are complete before you start the rollover process. Click Events to open the Events tool and monitor any events in progress. Clicking Events will end the rollover process.
  6. Click Start Rollover. The progress message appears. When the rollover is complete, the summary page appears.

    Note: If the rollover fails, you must restore the database by running an Import of your backup through Longview Server Manager. For more information, see the Longview Server Manager Guide.

  7. If you want to view the rollover log file, click View Log File. The log file is saved to the following location:

    C:\Users\<userID>\Documents\Longview\Rollover\

  8. When you are finished, click Close.

Deploying the transitional safe harbour starter kit

Before deploying the transitional safe harbours starter kit, review the following items and adjust as necessary for your system:

  • Open the Deploy Transitional Safe Harbours app in Longview Designer to review the event rules deployed.
    • By default, event rules will be deployed to transfer:
      • CbCR total revenue, if available.
      • CBCR profit before tax, if available.
      • UTP, if available.
      • Substance-based income exclusion.
    • Invisible: New for v24.4By default, event rules will be deployed to IDs: 5950170-5950176.
    • To deploy additional rules, you will need to:
      • Modify the EventFiles procedure to include additional rule files.
      • Add the additional rules files as Supporting Files.
      • The most obvious addition is to add a rule that triggers on change to income tax expense as this is one of the feeds to calculate the simplified ETR.

No other changes should be required. You can run the deployment app from Designer via the Run button or publish the app and run it from the navigation pane of the Longview Client.

The transitional safe harbours deployment app will perform the following actions:

  • Deploy the transitional safe harbours account hierarchy (P2TSH).
  • Publish the Transitional Safe Harbours adjustments app to the Analysts and CorporateAnalysts groups within the Jurisdictions folder of data collection.
  • Publish the Transitional Safe Harbours across jurisdictions app to the Analysts and CorporateAnalysts groups within the Jurisdictions folder of reports.
  • Deploy the event rules for executing the transitional safe harbour transfers.

For efficient event execution the rule merging should be updated for the rules added to support transitional safe harbours. The RuleMerges document in the Supporting Files folder contains the configuration assuming all the default rules were deployed. You can copy the text from RuleMerges and paste it into the Event Rue Merging Setup window in Application Administrator. Adjust as necessary if not all rules were deployed, or you deployed any additional rules for the transitional safe harbours transfer.

Additional modifications will be required if you want to add additional transfers into the P2TSHTransfer event.

To modify the transitional safe harbours event, open the event P2TSHTransfer in Longview Designer:

By default, the event assumes all the default sources and included configuration to only run the transfers for the source symbols that exist.

The following source symbols are configured into the event (you can review these in the Main procedure):

  • CbCR Revenue: CbC_TotalRevenue (variable: sourceP2TSHDMTRCbCR).
  • CBCR Profit or Loss before Tax: CbC_PnLB4Tax (variable: sourceP2TSHDMTRCbCPBT).
  • Substance-based Income Exclusion: P2SBIE5.3.1 1 (variable: sourceP2TSHRPTSBIE53).
  • Uncertain tax positions (IAS): NatAddCurrentM004T_IAS, NatAddCurrentM005_IAS, NatAddCurrentM006_IAS (variable: sourceP2TSHSETRTUTP).
  • Uncertain tax positions (ASC): NatAddCurrentM005T_ASC, NatAddCurrentM006_ASC, NatAddCurrentM007_ASC (variable: sourceP2TSHSETRTUTP).

In addition, there is a place to configure the source for income tax expense (variables: sourceP2TSHSETRTITE_Account and sourceP2TSHSETRTITE_Element).
