Wolters Kluwer, a global leader in professional information, software solutions and services, today launched a new CCH Tagetik expert solution that will help multinational companies collect, align, calculate and report integrated finance and tax data in accordance with Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Pillar Two tax requirements. The solution will also help CFOs better understand how Pillar Two regulations will impact their business model and operations.

The challenge:  Multinationals are navigating Pillar Two obligations with limited time to comply, and massive data sets from tax and finance.

As part of a continuous effort to reform the international tax system, and in adherence to OECD Pillar Two tax requirements, more than 140 countries have agreed to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% in 2024, for certain multinational companies. To meet the new obligations of Pillar Two, multinational companies need to quickly gain visibility into, connect, and analyze massive amounts of enterprise-wide data. They must also process complex tax calculations to understand the impact Pillar Two will have on corporate profitability and operations. Today, many large companies use disparate, disconnected technology to manage tax and financial data, making it difficult to efficiently address the new tax requirements.

The solution: Trusted technology that empowers CFOs to streamline the new direct tax reporting journey, helping multinational companies confidently meet new Pillar Two regulations.
