    Jurisdictional Elections

    This area contains country-specific information. Jurisdictional Elections can be selected here and play a significant role. The options are selected using checkboxes. By default, all options are deselected. The options can be manually selected or deselected by activating the checkbox.

    Some options are only relevant for transmitting information to tax authorities, and data entry must be made in accordance with the respective option exercised. For example, JE-33 relates to the treatment of tax groups. It is important to note that the option cannot be changed with existing data. However, during data input, the user must decide whether to use values of tax groups or values of single taxpayers.

    Other elective rights have a direct influence on the subsequent calculation. If data can be entered independently of the exercise of voting rights, it is possible to always import or enter them by default and then decide at country level whether to include them. An analysis of the exercise of voting rights can thus also be performed by creating two snapshots if the calculation results are compared while keeping all data points constant apart from the exercise of the respective election.

    ISO-Code

    For all countries created in the master data area, the corresponding ISO code can be selected here in the drop-down menu to view and edit the information for the respective jurisdiction. It is crucial for all calculations that an ISO code is stored for each country in the master data!

    Annual Elections

    The annual elections only apply to the current reporting period and can be selected differently in each year.

    Aggregate Asset Gain Election (Article 3.2.6)

    If the option is exercised, all values entered at level of the individual CEs at INC-2.16 and CT-2.12 are taken into account in the CE Calculation and in the Jurisdictional Blending. If the option is not exercised, any values entered in these lines will not be taken into account.

    The option has no effect on lines I-3 of the CE Calculation and the Jurisdictional Blending. Gains and losses on immovable assets are collected at the CE level regardless of whether the election is exercised and are aggregated and carried forward as part of the Jurisdictional Blending.

    Negative Tax Expense Carry-forward

    The election has no effect on the negative Tax Expense amount in TCF-1.1, that is automatically generated if the negative tax expense exceeds the expected negative tax expense. Instead, the election just affects if the amount of Negative Tax Expense that is generated in case of an overall GloBE loss (INC-3 < 0) is considered as Additional Top-Up Tax (TT-2.2) in the current year or carried forward to subsequent years and considered as Negative Tax Expense Carry-Forward generated in the current year.

    Safe Harbor Elections and Jurisdictional Exclusions

    JE-50

    GloBE Loss Election (Article 4.5)

    If the option is exercised, the Total Deferred Tax Adjustment Amount, as well as every Data Point regarding the Deferred Taxes and Adjustments of the CEs in the jurisdiction, is set to zero. This is shown in the CE Calculation as well as the Jurisdictional Blending.

    If the election is exercised in the case of an overall loss in the jurisdiction the calculations will show a GloBE Loss Carry-Forward equal to the positive amount of the GloBE Loss (I-2.2) as well as Deferred Tax Income from the GloBE Loss generated in the current year equal to the amount of the GloBE loss multiplied by the minimum rate of 15%. (GL-1.1) The Deferred Tax Income adds to the sum of the Adjusted Covered Taxes in the Jurisdictional Blending (instead of the Total Deferred Tax Adjustment Amount)

    If the Election is exercised in case of an overall GloBE Income, an eventual amount of GloBE Loss Carry-Forward from earlier years (I-2.1) is used in the current year and leads to Deferred Tax Expense (GL-1.2) that lowers the amount of Adjusted Covered Taxes of the Jurisdiction. The Deferred Tax Expense is the lesser amount of the GloBE Income multiplied by the Minimum Tax Rate and the GloBE Loss Carry-Forward multiplied by the Minimum Tax Rate.

    If the Election is not exercised and there is still a GloBE Loss Carry-Forward from prior years at the beginning of the period, this is fully (independently from the amount of GloBE Income) used in the current year by multiplying the GloBE Loss Carry-Forward with the Minimum Tax Rate. (GL-1.2)
