Amends the:

Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
to: provide for a standard and centralised set of concepts to determine whether an entity is a ‘significant global entity’; and introduce new standards for transfer pricing documentation and country-by-country reporting by significant global entities;
Income Tax Assessment Act 1936
to negate certain tax avoidance schemes used by multinational entities to artificially avoid the attribution of profits to a permanent establishment in Australia; and

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
