Overview
As part of Pillar Two compliance Switzerland's GloBE Information Return is reported using a jurisdiction-specific tax form called the Switzerland Pillar Two GIR Form. In accordance with Switzerland's legislative implementation it records all necessary GloBE income covered taxes ETR data and QDMTT calculations. The OECD Global Minimum Tax (GloBE) framework and Switzerland's Pillar Two regulations are completely compliant with this form template.
