International Tax Update Seminar ## International Tax Update Seminar Join us for this seminar to get your latest update on Pillar 2 and global developments. During the plenary session our technical experts will set the stage and guide you through the most recent global and policy developments and share with you thought leadership on where they think Pillar 2 is going with the Side-by-Side system implemented. After a short break you will be able to join workshops of your choice that provide further insights into specific topics. The program will end with some conclusive thoughts in a brief plenary session and lunch will be provided after the program ends. ### Program: 09:00 - 09:30 Walk-in with coffee and tea 09:30 - 10:30 Introduction/ plenary session 10.30 - 10.45 Break/moving rooms 10:45 - 11:30 Workshop round 1 11.30 - 11.45 Break/moving rooms 11:45 - 12:30 Workshop round 2 12:30 - 12:45 Wrap up / plenary session 12:45 - 13:30 Lunch ## Workshops During the seminar we will host two rounds of workshops. As part of the registration you can choose one workshop for each round, which we have outlined below. ### EU developments We will discuss the latest EU direct tax developments, with a focus on the future of Pillar Two in the EU and the EU’s simplification agenda (i.e., expected changes to a number of EU tax directives, including the Directive on Administrative Cooperation and the Anti-Tax Avoidance Directive). In addition, the session will cover other key direct tax Initiatives and trends (e.g., tax transparency, global mobility, withholding tax relief and related anti-abuse measures) that may affect multinational groups operating in the EU. ### Working to optimize Credits, Grants & Incentives in a challenging pillar 2 landscape With the cost of energy increasing and the protection of industries across the globe, governments have made significant credits, grants and incentives available. When companies are considering new investments and/or the implementation of innovative and/or sustainable strategies, it is worthwhile to explore the availability of potential grants and incentives that can help reduce overall financing costs and improve the business case. In this workshop we will bring you up to speed regarding the current funding landscape, discuss how to approach obtaining grants, credits and incentives, share best practices and we will dive into the overlap with Pillar 2, including the introduction of the Substance-Based Tax Incentives Safe Harbour. ### Tax Controversy During this workshop, we will discuss the latest developments in transfer pricing disputes. We will demonstrate that these disputes are often not only about the technical application of transfer pricing rules, but also largely involve litigation strategies. ### Pillar 2 - New Administrative Guidance The Administrative Guidance as released by the OECD on January 5, 2026, provides for various new Safe Harbours, including the Side-by-Side Safe Harbour and the Simplified ETR Safe Harbour. During this workshop we will discuss what the Administrative Guidance entails, how you can make these Safe Harbours work, and what is still to come from the OECD. ### Pillar 2 and tax accounting During this session we will cover specific Pillar Two topics with a tax accounting angle. Amongst others this will include disclosure in the financial statements and the treatment of prior year adjustments. ## Seminar information Language: English PE hours: 3 **AUDIENCE** Tax professionals working for international companies **LOCATION** KPMG Meijburg & Co, Laan van Langerhuize 9 Amstelveen [ ![Lieke Mutsaers](https://www.meijburg.nl/sites/default/files/styles/person_search_result/public/2022-07/Lieke%20Mutsaers%20profiel.jpg) ](https://www.meijburg.nl/over-ons/onze-mensen/lieke-mutsaers) [ Lieke Mutsaers ](https://www.meijburg.nl/over-ons/onze-mensen/lieke-mutsaers) Director mutsaers.lieke \[at\] kpmg.com [ Meijburg Amstelveen ](https://www.meijburg.nl/houd-mij-op-de-hoogte/contact-kantoren/meijburg-amstelveen) [ ![Aroen Rambhadjan ](https://www.meijburg.nl/sites/default/files/styles/person_search_result/public/2022-07/Aroen%20Rambhadjan%20profiel.jpg) ](https://www.meijburg.nl/over-ons/onze-mensen/aroen-rambhadjan) [ Aroen Rambhadjan ](https://www.meijburg.nl/over-ons/onze-mensen/aroen-rambhadjan) Partner rambhadjan.aroen \[at\] kpmg.com [ Meijburg Amstelveen ](https://www.meijburg.nl/houd-mij-op-de-hoogte/contact-kantoren/meijburg-amstelveen) Lees verder: - [ ESG & Fiscaliteit ](https://www.meijburg.nl/taxonomy/term/223) - [ Tax Controversy & Litigation ](https://www.meijburg.nl/taxonomy/term/242) - [ Corporate Clients ](https://www.meijburg.nl/taxonomy/term/100) - [ ![Linkedin](https://www.meijburg.nl/themes/custom/openworld/static/images/icon_linkedin.svg) ](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://www.meijburg.nl/markdownify/node/2963&title=International Tax Update Seminar &source=https://www.meijburg.nl/markdownify/node/2963 "Linkedin") - [ ![Email](https://www.meijburg.nl/themes/custom/openworld/static/images/icon_email.svg) ](mailto:?subject=International Tax Update Seminar &body=Check out this site https://www.meijburg.nl/markdownify/node/2963 "Email") - [ ![Print](https://www.meijburg.nl/themes/custom/openworld/static/images/icon_print.svg) ](# "Print") - [ ![whatsapp](https://www.meijburg.nl/themes/custom/openworld/static/images/icon_whatsapp.svg) ](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=https://www.meijburg.nl/markdownify/node/2963 "whatsapp")
