IASB confirms temporary relief from deferred tax accounting following OECD Pillar Two tax reform

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has decided to finalise amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes following the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

The amendments, approved in a special supplementary meeting, will provide temporary relief for companies from having to account for deferred taxes arising from the implementation of the Pillar Two model rules.

The amendments will introduce:

  • a temporary exception to the accounting for deferred taxes arising from the jurisdictional implementation of the global tax rules; and
  • targeted disclosure requirements for affected companies to help users of the financial statements better understand a company’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from that legislation, particularly before its effective date.

The amendments will ensure that affected companies apply IAS 12 consistently and that investors are given better information before and after any jurisdictional Pillar Two legislation comes into effect.
