Critical Acclaim
‘The ‘Pillar Two’ Global Minimum Tax is an important and timely work bringing together new essays on a topic that has engaged the international tax community over recent years. With contributions from some of the most prominent researchers on international taxation, this book tackles a rich variety of perspectives ranging from normative analysis, through the procedural and political aspects of the issue, to some important technical analyses of the mechanics of Pillar Two. This book is bound to become a key point of reference for anyone working on the subject or studying it.''

‘This engaging book, featuring contributions from European tax experts, examines Pillar Two from what seems to be every conceivable perspective. The volume’s panoptic approach yields surprising insights with respect to the issues likely to emerge from the OECD’s radical reformulation of the rules of international taxation.’
