Country-by-Country Reporting was introduced in 2015 under the OECD’s BEPS Action 13, requiring large multinational groups to report revenues, profits, taxes, employees, and assets to tax authorities confidentially. 

At EU level, Public CbCR was introduced to enhance corporate transparency and public accountability, particularly in response to concerns around aggressive tax planning. Under the EU Public CbCR Directive, multinational enterprises with consolidated revenues exceeding €750 million for two consecutive years and EU operations must publicly disclose selected tax and financial information annually. The report must be published within 12 months after the end of the relevant financial year.

 Unlike OECD CbCR, which is a confidential tax compliance obligation, Public CbCR is a corporate transparency requirement embedded in accounting law. As the information will be publicly accessible, it may be scrutinised by a wide range of stakeholders, potentially influencing perceptions of a group’s tax profile and overall reputation.

In this joint webinar, Forvis Mazars experts will provide a clear and practical overview of the Public CbCR requirements, their impact on EU and non-EU groups, and how to prepare effectively.

You will gain insights into:

• Public CbCR requirements and the implementation timeline
• Scope analysis and jurisdiction/entity-level obligations for EU and non‑EU groups
• Ensuring consistency between Public CbCR data and the Master File before publication
• Preparing the Public CbCR, including transforming existing CbCR data
• Recently published technical requirements to ensure compliance and submission readiness
• Interpreting Public CbCR data and aligning it with ESG / CSRD frameworks
• Assessment of reputational risks

Don’t miss this opportunity to ensure your organisation is well‑prepared for this new era of public transparency.
