Historically the relationship between tax and book profits has ranged, in theory, from complete alignment in some jurisdictions to total dependence in others. In reality, most jurisdictions have always had some divergence from these extreme positions and now most tax systems have a hybrid approach. Pressure for the use of a common base for international tax purposes, including Pillar II, has raised this issue to prominence, although it has always been significant at a national level. How straightforward is the book-tax relationship likely to be going forward?
