The Inland Revenue Division (IRD) has published a formal notice addressing Constituent Entities of Multinational Enterprise (MNE) Groups resident in Trinidad and Tobago for tax purposes. The notice details the obligations under the Country-by-Country (CbC) Reporting framework, aligned with OECD BEPS Action 13 and domestic legislation (Finance Act provisions). Entities must notify the IRD of their role within the MNE group (Ultimate Parent Entity, Surrogate Parent Entity, or Constituent Entity) and provide the requisite CbC Report or notification by the statutory deadline. This measure enhances tax transparency and combats base erosion and profit shifting.
Key Takeaways
- Filing Threshold: MNE groups with consolidated group revenue of EUR 750 million (or TTD equivalent) in the preceding fiscal year are in scope.
- Notification Deadline: The notification must be filed by the last day of the reporting fiscal year; the CbC Report is due within 12 months of the fiscal year-end.
- Penalties: Failure to notify or file attracts significant monetary penalties and may trigger transfer pricing audits.
