What the paper says

This article critically examines the substance-based income exclusion (SBIE) under Pillar Two, highlighting its conceptual shortcomings, allocative distortions and bias toward tangible-intensive business models. It argues that the current formula inadequately reflects economic reality and proposes alternative approaches for determining routine returns consistent with modern multinational activities.
