International tax developments - What is Pillar Two

Establishes a global framework of minimum taxation through use of an effective tax rate (ETR)

The minimum ETR (15%) is calculated a jurisdictional basis

Taxes paid on income or profits, as well as any taxes imposed in lieu of an income tax, are included in the ETR

Financial accounts of the parent entity are used to calculate the tax base and ETR at an entity level

An incremental tax liability arises when the ETR in a jurisdiction is below the agreed minimum rate

The Global Anti-Base Erosion (“GloBE”) Rules apply a system of top-up taxes – that is, an Income Inclusion Rule (IIR) and an
Undertaxed Payment Rule (UTPR) – that brings the total amount of taxes paid on a multinational enterprise’s excess profit in
a jurisdiction up to the minimum rate of 15%.

Refresher on the Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act of 2022
Tax law effective in 2023
In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors
(CHIPS) Acts into law. Significant provisions include:

• New corporate alternative minimum tax of 15% (CAMT) • Excise Tax on share buybacks
– equal to the excess of 15% of the applicable corporation’s – 1% excise tax on the net value of certain stock that
adjusted financial statement income over the CAMT foreign corporations repurchase during the tax year
tax credit for the tax year.
– applies to repurchases of stock after December 31, 2022
– CAMT is only due if a taxpayer’s tentative minimum tax
exceeds its regular tax plus base erosion and anti-abuse tax
(BEAT) • Climate, energy, and advanced manufacturing investment
incentives
– effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2022
– certain incentives may be in the scope of ASC 740
– incentives outside the scope of ASC 740 (e.g., credits with
direct-pay options) may be akin to a government grant

★ Accounting impact generally expected to be limited in period of enactment.


Subsequent guidance released by IRS and Treasury should be evaluated for financial reporting purposes.

Basic structure of a supplier finance program*

• Buyer establishes a program with a finance provider or intermediary that typically works as follows:

Step 1: Sends invoices for


purchased goods or services

Suppliers Buyer

Step 2: Confirms
Step 3: May make early the amount and
payment (typically at a validity of invoices
discounted amount at the
request of the supplier)

Finance provider/Intermediary Step 4: Generally, makes payment based


on the invoice terms

* Also referred to as reverse factorings, payables finance, or structured payables

Pw C | Pw C’s quarterly accounting w ebcast 8


Trade payables or debt?

A range of factors and evidence should be considered


and weighed to determine if the substance of the buyer’s
liability has changed from trade payables to debt

Buyers should consider the following:

Has the buyer's obligation been modified so


significantly such that it should be considered a
new arrangement (i.e., debt)?
Trade
Debt
payables
Has the supplier agreed to atypical invoice terms
because a supplier finance program is in place?

Section 11.3.1.5 of our Financial Statement Presentation Guide provides a full list of indicators to consider. Also check out our recent podcast.

Disaggregation - income statement expenses

Background:
• The FASB received feedback from investors during its agenda consultation that further disaggregation of expenses should be a high priority.
• In February 2022, the FASB revised the objective of its existing “financial performance reporting” project to focus on improving the decision
usefulness of business entities’ income statements through the disaggregation of certain expense captions.

Current status:

• The FASB has tentatively decided to propose new footnote disclosures that include:
1. Disaggregation of each expense line item presented in the income statement (e.g., cost of sales, SG&A, R&D) based on the following
categories: (1) employee compensation, (2) inventory expenses, (3) depreciation of fixed assets, and (4) amortization of intangibles.
Qualitative description of remaining costs.
2. Disclosure of costs incurred and capitalized into inventory disaggregated by: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3)
depreciation of fixed assets, and (4) amortization of intangibles. Qualitative description of remaining costs.
3. Disclosure of “selling expenses” and description of the company’s policy for determining the type of expenses included within “selling
expenses.”
• An ED could be issued as soon as mid-2023.

Segments
Objective
• FASB undertook this project to make certain improvements to the segment guidance to provide users with more decision-useful information
about the reportable segments of a public entity.
Status
• FASB issued an ED in October 2022. Comments were due in December 2022, and the FASB is analyzing the comment letters and will
discuss with the Board in a future meeting, with a goal of issuing a final standard by the end of 2023.
Impact
• The new guidance would not change the approach to determining or aggregating segments.
• Proposed changes are as follows:

New disclosure requirement: Significant segment expenses that are 1) regularly provided to the CODM and 2) used in the measure of
1 segment profit or loss

2 Creates an “other segment items” category of segment revenue less significant segment expenses less segment measure of profit/loss

3 Disclosures applies to companies with a single reportable segment

4 Certain annual disclosures now also required on an interim basis

Allows companies to report more than one measure of segment profit or loss, at least one measure should be the one most consistent
5 with GAAP amounts
