DataTracks — Global Compliance Milestone
DataTracks has successfully completed BEPS Pillar Two GloBE Information Return filings for clients across 7 OECD jurisdictions. Every single one accepted on first submission.
Why this matters
BEPS Pillar Two — the OECD Pillar Two global minimum tax — is the most significant multinational tax obligation in a generation. Every large group with revenues above €750 million is in scope. The GloBE Model Rules are consistent in principle, but every jurisdiction implements them differently. Different filing deadlines, different QDMTT frameworks, different GloBE Information Return schemas at the tax authority end. Successfully completing Pillar Two filings across seven OECD jurisdictions in one cycle is not routine. It is proof that DataTracks handles real jurisdictional complexity, at scale, without errors.
How DataTracks makes Pillar Two filing simple
Pillar Two taxation sounds intimidating. GloBE Information Returns, QDMTT calculations, jurisdiction-specific XML schemas, OECD Pillar Two model rules applied differently in every filing jurisdiction. None of that complexity lands on your team. Here is exactly what the process looks like from your side.
1
You receive a simple Excel template
DataTracks sends you a clean, structured Excel template. Fill in your entity data in the sheets provided. If you need help filling it, our team will work through it with you.
2
You upload to DataTracks Oxbow
Once your data is ready, you upload the completed file directly into DataTracks Oxbow, our Pillar Two filing platform. That is the full extent of your involvement in the technical process.
3
We validate every line item
DataTracks Oxbow runs a full validation across all line items in your data. If there is an issue, Oxbow tells you the exact cell to correct. Not a vague error message. The precise cell, the precise line item.
4
We convert and file
DataTracks converts your validated data into the required XML format for each jurisdiction — GloBE Information Return, QDMTT, Pillar II requirements — and submits to the relevant tax authority.
DataTracks Oxbow: exact cell-level error identification
Most Pillar Two compliance tools tell you something is wrong. DataTracks Oxbow tells you precisely where. When you are managing data across dozens of entities and hundreds of line items — covering GloBE model rules, SBIE carve-outs, QDMTT Pillar Two calculations and covered tax positions — “there is an error in your file” is not useful. The exact cell, the exact line item is. It is the difference between spending an afternoon hunting for a problem and fixing it in five minutes. This is how DataTracks achieved a 100% acceptance rate across all seven jurisdictions filed this cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is BEPS Pillar Two?
BEPS Pillar Two is the OECD’s global minimum tax framework. It requires large multinational groups to pay a minimum effective tax rate in every jurisdiction they operate in, regardless of local incentives or rate differences.
Which companies are in scope for Pillar Two?
Any multinational group with consolidated revenues above €750 million is in scope, across all jurisdictions that have implemented the OECD Pillar Two model rules.
What is a GloBE Information Return (GIR)?
The GloBE Information Return is the core filing required under Pillar Two. It reports the data tax authorities need to assess a group’s global minimum tax position — but the exact schema, format and submission process differs by jurisdiction.
Does every jurisdiction implement Pillar Two the same way?
No. While the GloBE Model Rules are consistent in principle, filing deadlines, QDMTT (Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax) frameworks, and GIR schemas vary by jurisdiction — which is why multi-country filing gets complex quickly for groups with entities in several countries.
How does DataTracks handle jurisdiction-specific requirements?
From one proprietary Excel template, DataTracks Oxbow generates the specific outputs each regulator requires — for example, Canada’s GIR XML plus GIRN, GMTR and GIR View Confirmation Status as JSON; Netherlands filings via Digipoort; and Spain via Form 241 (Modelo 241).
What does the filing process look like from our side?
You fill in DataTracks’ proprietary Excel template (built-in formulas validate your data as you go), assign role-based access across your team for data entry, review and submission, upload to DataTracks Oxbow, and Oxbow validates every line item down to the exact cell before converting and filing with the relevant tax authority.
What is Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) and why does it matter for Pillar Two?
RBAC lets you assign different access levels — data entry, review, submission — to different users. For groups managing multiple entities and teams across jurisdictions, this means control over who can do what in the filing process, without bottlenecking everything through one person.
What happens if there's an error in our data?
DataTracks Oxbow identifies the exact cell and line item that needs correction — not a generic error message — so issues get caught and fixed before anything is submitted to a tax authority.
Which jurisdictions has DataTracks filed Pillar Two returns in?
DataTracks has completed BEPS Pillar Two GloBE Information Return filings for clients across 7 OECD jurisdictions: UK, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Canada, Cyprus, Czech Republic, and Spain.
How do I know if my group is in scope?
If you’re unsure whether your group meets the €750 million revenue threshold or how Pillar Two applies to your structure, DataTracks can help assess your scope before your filing deadline approaches.
