Global Tax in 2026: Pillar Two, QDMTT & the Changing Tax Landscape | SCTP x Tax Academy of Singapore

What are the major international tax developments shaping 2026 — and what do they mean for businesses and tax professionals?

Tax Academy of Singapore and the Singapore Chartered Tax Professionals (SCTP) kicked off 2026 with a joint networking session and fireside chat featuring Mr Scott Levine and Mr Allen Tan.

Against a backdrop of heightened global uncertainty, the speakers examined how developments in international tax policy are reshaping tax rules, business decisions and compliance expectations across jurisdictions.

The discussion explored topics including:

• Evolving implementation of Pillar Two
• Developments surrounding the anticipated U.S. “side-by-side” approach
• The treatment and design of tax incentives
• The role and potential longevity of Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Taxes (QDMTTs)
• Implications for traditional investment hubs and multinational organisations
• Increasingly sophisticated tax administration and revenue enforcement
• How global tax developments are influencing domestic tax policy and compliance

Beyond the technical discussion, the evening brought together tax professionals from across the industry to exchange perspectives, build connections and consider the challenges ahead.

Our sincere appreciation to Scott Levine, Allen Tan, SCTP and everyone who joined us for this valuable start to 2026.
