On 16 April 2024, Iceland published the Fiscal Strategy Plan for 2025-2029, in which it determined to implement a global minimum tax pillar under the EU Minimum Tax Directive (Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of 14 December 2022. This includes the introduction of the Pillar 2 income inclusion rule (IIR) and the undertaxed payment/profit rule (UTPR) to ensure a minimum corporate tax of 15% for large multinational (MNE) groups with annual consolidated revenue of at least EUR 750 million in at least two of the preceding four fiscal years. Iceland is expected to complete enforcing global minimum tax pillar two rules within the second half of 2024, with an anticipated enforcement date set for 2025. Additionally, it is projected that this implementation will result in higher tax revenue within the following year.
