    How will CbC Reporting cause increased tax controversy & reputation risk?

    Multinational corporations (MNCs) are (rightly or wrongly) seen by many as undermining the credibility of the international tax system by paying what is sometimes perceived as unfair tax rates. Most global executives are aware of cases where publicly traded companies have had to openly respond to governments and the press about their tax affairs; therefore, it would be prudent to plan for an uptick in tax controversy due to the CbC reporting template.

    Tax Transformation is Getting Faster and Easier (Really)

    Francis Bacon once said, “Time is the measure of business.” Bacon’s wise observation from nearly 400 years ago is complemented by some modern wisdom from MIT Sloan Research Scientist George Westerman that Gartner’s Paul Stokes recently tweeted (and I retweeted): CIO[s] must allocate their time not to where the budget is but to where the org is meant to be by shaping it to where it can be.

For example, a calendar-year company would be required to file its initial template for 2016 by December 31, 2017.
