Country-by-Country Reporting ## What is a Country-by-Country Report? A Country-by-Country (CbC) report is a requirement for multinational enterprises with a consolidated group revenue of €750 million or more. The report provides an overview of the global allocation of income, profits, taxes paid, and other economic indicators for each country where the group operates. This helps tax authorities identify and assess risks of tax avoidance. The CbC report must be submitted annually to the tax authority of the country where the multinational group's headquarters is located, which then shares it with other relevant tax authorities. ## Why is a Country-by-Country Report important? If multinational enterprises do not comply with this obligation, it can result in significant administrative penalties. Recently, the CbC report has become more important as it is used for the Pillar 2 Transitional Safe Harbor calculations. For the CbC report this means it should be ‘qualifying’, which requires a detailed review, but also the data quality is critical. In recent years, our team of specialists has gained extensive experience in preparing, converting, and submitting such reports. We can assist you with the following CbC-related processes: - Reviewing current CbC policies and data definitions used - Performing CbC data extraction - Conducting CbC data analysis based on OECD risk factors - Preparing CbC reports, including conversion to XML and submission to the Tax Authorities - Providing a template to be filled out, including review by our specialists, conversion to XML, and submission to the Tax Authorities Additionally, we can assist with the analysis of the CbC report that serves as a 'qualifying CbC Report' for the safe harbor rules (Transitional Safe Harbours) of Pillar 2. ## Country-by-Country Reporting Notification We regularly publish an [overview of the CbCR notification requirements.](https://www.meijburg.nl/sites/default/files/2024-11/CbCR%20notification%20update%20Nov%202024_0.pdf) This overview includes all countries that have (currently) implemented definitive legislation regarding Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR). Multinational groups are currently assessing whether to submit their reports centrally (using the multiple filing exemption) or on a decentralized basis. Member states can apply different rules to each approach. For example, Germany requires centrally filed reports to be prepared in German. This may not be the preferred approach for some multinationals. We help clients determine the most suitable filing strategy to meet these new, annually recurring obligations. ## Need tax advice on Country-by-Country Reporting?
