  1. Implementation of OECD\/G20 GloBE Rules:<\/strong> The Act transposes the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules under Pillar 2<\/em> of the OECD\/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) into Singaporean law.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

  3. Domestic Top-up Tax (DTT):<\/strong> The Act introduces a complementary domestic top-up tax. This ensures that low-taxed profits of entities within Singapore<\/em> belonging to in-scope multinational groups are also subject to the 15% minimum effective tax rate.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Scope and Application:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
