This page details the central record of legislation with qualified status for a transitional period, as determined under the transitional qualification mechanism. This central record will be updated on a regular basis and in a timely manner, after a self-certification that has been submitted to the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS has completed the agreed transitional qualification mechanism process. The fact that a jurisdiction’s legislation is not included in this central record does not mean that the legislation is not qualified; rather it means that, as at the date of publication, the process provided for under the transitional qualification mechanism has not yet been initiated or completed for that legislation.
The relevant legislation set out in the tables below will be treated as qualified from the effective date of the legislation, which is the date when that legislation becomes applicable to in-scope taxpayers (i.e. the date on or after which the first covered Fiscal Year of an in-scope MNE Group starts). While recognition of qualified status is important for determining the order in which global minimum tax rules apply, there is no requirement for a jurisdiction to introduce such rules. Jurisdictions may have alternative ways of ensuring that MNE Groups pay an effective rate of tax at least 15% on the income arising in their jurisdiction and achieving policy outcomes consistent with the global minimum tax.
