Dr. Mikołaj Kondej:
Dr. Mikołaj Kondej - The European Union enacted directive 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022 on ensuring a global minimum level of taxation for multinational enterprise groups and large-scale domestic groups in the Union. The directive is based on pilar II model rules developed by OECD. Aim of those regulations is to ensure 15% minimum rate for MNE with EUR 750 million consolidated revenues. At the same time in the European Union restrictive rules of state-aid exist. Those rules may limit EU countries' ability to provide non-tax incentives to enterprises from the EU. This leads to the question whether EU push forward Pilar II implementation will not make the situation of EU enterprises worse in comparison with the situation of enterprises from jurisdictions which can freely provide non-tax incentives.
