January 2025 Article 9.1 Guidance: Government-Related Tax Assets

The guidance limits use of certain pre-transition deferred-tax assets arising from government arrangements or new corporate tax regimes.

Source checked · 11 October 2026

Why the transition rule is restricted

Article 9.1 allows qualifying historic deferred-tax attributes to avoid distortions on entering GloBE. This package addresses arrangements after 30 November 2021 that could create credits or tax-basis step-ups sheltering future low-taxed income. It also addresses similar retroactive elections and new corporate-tax regime events. The mere existence of an accounting DTA does not establish eligibility.

Review the event and transition conditions

The document provides amendments and a worked example. Check the origin of the benefit, government involvement, event date and detailed exclusions or limited transition treatment before including a reversal in covered taxes. Apply the text alongside the current Commentary and domestic rules, rather than assuming all pre-GloBE loss or credit balances receive identical treatment.
