OECD
: The OECD continued to issue documents for public comment, issuing two consultation documents relating to tax certainty: a
Tax Certainty Framework for Amount A
and
Tax Certainty for Issues Related to Amount A
under Pillar One
.
The documents, issued on 27 May, requested that comments be submitted no later than 10 June. The comments received
have now been published
.

central element of Amount A is an innovative tax certainty framework that guarantees certainty for in-scope groups over all aspects of the new rules, including the elimination of double taxation. This eliminates the risk of uncoordinated compliance activity in potentially every jurisdiction where a group has revenues, as well as a complex and time-consuming process to eliminate the resulting double taxation. The Tax Certainty Framework incorporates a number of elements designed to address different potential risks posed by the new rules: a scope certainty review, an advance certainty review and a comprehensive certainty review.

The deadline for the preparation of
the master file also has been extended to three months after the extended deadline described above.
