This webinar provides an in-depth analysis of the Subject-to-Tax Rule (STTR), one of the final components of the Inclusive Framework Pillar Two initiative. The STTR is a treaty-based rule, granting source jurisdictions the right to “tax back” specific categories of intra-group payments which are subject to nominal tax rates in the state of the recipient lower than the agreed minimum rate of 9%. In other words, the STTR removes potential treaty obstacles to the levying of a top-up tax in the jurisdiction in which the in-scope payments arise. 

Despite having been conceived in accordance with the overall policy of Pillar Two, the features of the STTR differ significantly from the GloBE rules. This webinar discusses the design, operation and implementation of the STTR, and finally provides a comparison with the subject-to-tax clause currently under discussion at the UN level.

After this webinar, you will be equipped with the knowledge to: 

  • Navigate through the STTR model provision and its commentary
  • Identify the payments potentially affected by the STTR
  • Calculate the adjusted nominal rate of taxation for STTR purposes
  • Evaluate the critical issues deriving from the implementation of STTR

Block 1: STTR – Policy considerations

Block 2: Scope, covered income and exclusion thresholds

Block 3: Calculation of the adjusted nominal rate

Block 4: Top-up taxes under the STTR and elimination of double taxation
