OECD has published the blueprints on Pillar One and Pillar Two of BEPS 2.0 in October 2020. The OECD Inclusive Framework on BEPS (IF) released its updated Statement on a Two-Pillar Solution to Address the Tax Challenges Arising from the Digitalisation of the Economy on 8 October 2021 along with an implementation plan (“October IF Statement & Implementation Plan"). The updated statement was agreed by 136 (out of 140) member jurisdictions of the IF. Under Pillar Two of BEPS, the IF members have agreed to enact a jurisdictional-level minimum tax system with a minimum effective tax rate of 15%. Pillar Two of BEPS also introduced the Subject to Tax Rule (STTR) which would apply to royalties, interest, and other defined payments made from a developing country to an IF member state that applies a nominal corporate tax rate lower than a minimum STTR rate of 9%.
