Interesting to read in a blog post by Thomas Hug, Daniel Stutzmann Hausmann and Manuel Angehrn of Deloitte Switzerland (blog post here: https://lnkd.in/epzJ8CKJ) and subsequent LinkedIn discussion that the Swiss government is not yet implementing the Undertaxed Payment Rule (UTPR) of Pillar Two as per 1 January 2025. To quote Thomas' response to my question whether there is a relationship with the US (prior to the US elections questions were raised in Dutch parliament (Tweede Kamer der Staten-Generaal) on the question whether there were any concerns about the proposed Defending American Jobs and Investment Act and the Unfair Tax Prevention Act) or whether there are more fundamental concerns on the side of the Swiss: "Official statement by government: legal uncertainty and economic risks are disproportionate to the additional tax revenues" The Netherlands is (save for the exceptions contained within the GloBE Model Rules as implemented in the EU through the Pillar Two Directive) set to have the UTPR enter into effect from 2025, in line with the EU Pillar Two Directive. Wonder whether parliaments in other EU Member States and/or the European Commission are monitoring these developments and are perhaps reconsidering the entry into effect of the UTPR.
