Pillar Two and UAE Corporate Tax, from one group data core.
A platform I am building. The group is entered once, and the GloBE Information Return, the UAE corporate tax return and the compliance calendar all read from it — so they cannot disagree about what the group is.
What it is being built to do
Pillar Two → GIR
Scope test, transitional CbCR safe harbours, full GloBE computation where a jurisdiction fails, and the Information Return in OECD XML — with a workpaper behind every figure.
UAE CT → return pack
Accounting profit to taxable income, free zone and QFZP determination, mapped field by field to the EmaraTax form.
Compliance tracking
Obligations generated from the entity register rather than typed in — registration, returns, GIR deadlines, with status, owner and alerts.
Every figure traces to a rule
The engine is designed to be deterministic, with versioned rulesets and a legal citation on every rule. AI extracts documents, proposes mappings and drafts prose. It never produces a number that reaches an output.
Your figures stay on your device
Computation is designed to run in your own browser. Figures are not transmitted and not stored — there will be no endpoint to send them to.
Computation tool. Not tax advice.
