DataTracks Extends Pillar Two Filing Support to Australia and New Zealand Groups

DataTracks has extended its BEPS Pillar Two filing support to Australia and New Zealand, letting groups with Australian entities prepare and validate their GloBE Information Return and the ATO's Combined Global and Domestic Minimum Tax Return on DataTracks Oxbow. TradingView carried the announcement on October 27, 2026. Lodgment is carried out by a registered Australian tax agent partner.

What DataTracks Oxbow Does for Australian Filers

DataTracks is a software and services provider for regulatory reporting. The group or its adviser completes the GloBE computation, enters the data in a jurisdiction-specific template and checks it in Oxbow against more than 200 validation rules and the current ATO specification. Oxbow then builds the GIR in the OECD XML schema with the ATO's Bulk Business Document Message wrapper and identifier rules applied, and prepares the CGDMTR data alongside it.

The timing matters because groups with a 30 June year end, the standard balance date in Australia, must lodge their first Pillar Two returns with the ATO by 31 December 2026. Australia applies the full Pillar Two suite: its income inclusion rule and domestic minimum tax have applied since January 1, 2024, and its undertaxed profits rule since January 1, 2025. The ATO sets out four lodgment requirements across two returns, with the GIR lodged on its own as an XML file and the Foreign Lodgment Notification, the Australian IIR/UTPR Tax Return and the Australian DMT Tax Return combined in the CGDMTR.

"The first cycle showed us where Pillar Two filings come under pressure," said Saurabh Satija, VP Sales, UK & Ireland and Global Head, BEPS & Pillar Two at DataTracks. "It is in the last few weeks before a deadline, when a schema has changed, an identifier has been reused or an access request is still waiting."

In the first global filing cycle, DataTracks completed close to 500 Pillar Two filings for more than 160 clients across 10+ jurisdictions. The company is listed by HM Revenue & Customs as a commercial software supplier for UK Pillar Two returns and GloBE Information Returns.
