Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether international agreement on Pillar 1 of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s base erosion and profit shifting 2.0 proposals is necessary for Pillar 2 to become operational in the UK..

At Autumn Statement 2022, the Government confirmed that Pillar 2 will be implemented in the UK from 31 December 2023. This can be viewed on page 51 of the Autumn Statement document on gov.uk https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/autumn-statement-2022-documents

Alongside this the Government remains focused on delivering a Multilateral Convention on Pillar 1 by mid-2023, in line with the aim set out in the OECD’s Progress Report on Pillar 1 in July 2022, with the aim of that agreement then coming into force as soon as possible.
