About This Course

The OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS 2.0) has triggered the most significant overhaul of the international tax system in a century. However, memorizing the mechanics of Pillar One (reallocation of taxing rights) and Pillar Two (the 15% global minimum tax) is no longer enough.

Taxing Borders: Beyond the Rules of Pillar One and Two is an advanced, strategy-focused course designed to take professionals past the black-letter law. This course explores the real-world implications, unintended consequences, and strategic friction points created by the new global tax architecture. We will analyze how these frameworks interact with domestic legislation, the lingering threat of unilateral Digital Services Taxes (DSTs), the impact on global supply chains, and the emerging landscape of cross-border tax controversy.

Through complex case studies and predictive modeling, participants will learn how to future-proof multinational operations and navigate the geopolitical complexities of modern international taxation.

What You Will Learn

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

Navigate the Gray Areas: Identify the gaps, overlaps, and legislative friction points between Pillar One/Two and existing domestic tax codes (e.g., US GILTI, CAMT).
Strategic Restructuring: Analyze how the global minimum tax and new nexus rules impact MNE supply chains, intellectual property holding structures, and M&A valuations.
Anticipate Controversy: Prepare for the inevitable rise in cross-border tax disputes, double taxation risks, and the complexities of the new mutual agreement procedures (MAP).
Manage Unilateral Measures: Understand the geopolitical reality of countries retaining or introducing unilateral trade and tax measures outside the OECD framework.
Data & Compliance Readiness: Evaluate the massive data, accounting, and IT system upgrades required to meet the unprecedented reporting demands of the GloBE rules.
