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.
