Changes in Tax Laws––Many countries outside the U.S. have enacted legislation for global minimum taxation resulting from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s (OECD) Base Erosion and Profit Shifting “Pillar 2” project. The provisions are generally effective for Pfizer since 2024, though significant details and guidance around the provisions are still pending. Income tax expense could be impacted as the legislation becomes effective in countries in which we do business, and such impact could be material to our results of operations. We continue to monitor pending OECD guidance and legislation enactment and implementation by individual countries.
On July 4, 2025, the OBBBA was enacted into law in the U.S. The OBBBA includes significant tax provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and modifications to the U.S. international tax framework. Among the favorable business provisions are the permanent expensing for domestic R&D costs, permanent bonus depreciation, full expensing of qualified production property, and the reduction of the tax rate applicable to foreign earnings as GILTI (now NCTI) effective in fiscal years 2026 and thereafter from 13.125% to 12.6%. The legislation includes various effective dates, with certain provisions effective in 2025 and the rest in 2026. We expect further guidance may be issued by the U.S. government with respect to certain OBBBA tax provisions.
