Three transitional CbCR tests
Qualifying country-by-country and financial data are used to assess de minimis revenue and profit, a simplified effective tax rate, or routine profits after the substance-based exclusion. Meeting an applicable test can avoid a full calculation for that jurisdiction under the safe-harbour conditions. The paper also addresses special entities and groups rather than giving a blanket group-wide exemption.
Read the original framework with later updates
The permanent section discusses simplified calculations and non-material constituent entities. Penalty relief concerns reasonable compliance efforts, not automatic cancellation of all errors. This is the December 2022 starting framework; subsequent administrative guidance and the 2026 Side-by-Side package change or extend relevant features. Check the fiscal year and local implementation before relying on an original transition date.
