This webinar is designed for leaders and teams who will be pulled into Public CbCR planning and delivery, including:

• Heads of Tax / Group Tax / Tax Managers
• CFOs / Finance Controllers / Financial Reporting
• ESG / Sustainability Leads
• Legal / Company Secretariat / Risk & Compliance
• HR / People teams
• Corporate Affairs / Communications
  

It is particularly relevant for groups assessing whether they meet Public CbCR conditions, including the AUD 1 billion annual global income threshold and Australian‑sourced turnover considerations.

By the end of the webinar, attendees will be able to:

• Explain what Public CbCR is and why it differs from OECD CbCR obligations
• Identify key eligibility conditions and the initial questions to determine whether the group is in scope
• Understand due dates and first‑year timing, including the 12‑month lodgement timeframe for periods starting on or after 1 July 2024
• List the key disclosures required (revenue, profit/loss, employees, taxes paid/accrued, activities and other prescribed metrics
• Map the operational impacts (data gaps, system limitations, internal ownership) and why the effort is broader than tax
• Outline a practical readiness plan: data mapping, methodology documentation, narrative explanations and governance controls to support public disclosure.

A. What Public CbCR is (and why it matters now)

• What the regime requires: public disclosure of tax and financial information by country on a government website
• Why the shift increases public scrutiny and stakeholder attention

B. Eligibility: are you in scope?

• The ATO’s three‑condition framework and what to test internally first
• Key thresholds and entity considerations for large MNE groups

C. Due dates and first reporting periods

• Reporting periods starting on or after 1 July 2024
• Lodgement within 12 months after the end of the reporting period (and the practical implication for first lodgements)

D. What gets disclosed publicly

• Core disclosures: revenue, profit/loss, employees, taxes paid/accrued, activities and other metrics
• Why country‑level consistency matters when compared to other disclosures

E. The operational reality: data, systems and owners

• Why Public CbCR drives increased compliance effort and cross‑functional demands (tax, finance, HR, compliance)
• A practical approach to identifying data gaps and assigning ownership

F. Governance and narrative readiness

• Governance controls and senior review expectations due to public release
• Building a defensible narrative for “unusual outcomes”, volatility and restructuring explanations

G. Next steps checklist (what to do immediately)
Determine scope, data mapping, document methodology (including assumptions), prepare narratives, strengthen governance controls, and plan early for deadlines

Q&A Session

• Open floor for questions
• Live, practical guidance on specific scenarios raised by attendees

Public CbCR is not just another lodgement. It is public, comparable, and will likely be analysed by stakeholders outside the tax function.
This session will help you build a practical readiness plan to reduce avoidable risk: clarifying whether you are in scope, understanding what will be disclosed, and putting in place the governance, data ownership and narrative discipline needed for a public‑facing report.

TPS brings a governance‑first mindset to complex disclosure and documentation environments, grounded in practical frameworks and robust evidence standards.
