AI Summary of Article 48b Undertakings and branches required to report on income tax information
Member States shall require ultimate parent undertakings and standalone undertakings governed by their law to draw up, publish and make accessible a report on income tax information where consolidated or annual revenue exceeded EUR 750 000 000 on the balance sheet date for each of the last two consecutive financial years; the obligation ceases once that threshold is not met for two consecutive years. Exemptions apply where the undertakings and their affiliated undertakings operate solely within a single Member State, or where they already disclose a report in accordance with Article 89 of Directive 2013/36/EU covering all activities in the consolidated accounts.
Medium‑sized and large subsidiaries governed by Member State law and controlled by a non‑Member State ultimate parent must publish a report on that ultimate parent where the same EUR 750 000 000 consolidated threshold is met; they must request required information from the ultimate parent and, if not provided, publish all information in their possession with a statement that the parent did not provide necessary information. Branches of non‑Member State undertakings are subject to reporting when group and branch turnover thresholds are met and specified criteria apply; Member States need not apply subsidiary/branch rules where a non‑Member State ultimate parent or standalone has published a public, free, machine‑readable report (on its website, in at least one Union official language, within 12 months) identifying a single subsidiary or branch in a Member State. Member States shall also require publication where subsidiaries or branches exist solely to circumvent these reporting requirements.
