7. In case a resident establishment does not have standard financial statements, the multinational corporation may determine the proportion of the total revenue and profit before corporate income tax of the parent company allocated to the resident establishment by using the separate financial statements made by the parent company for the resident establishment to serve the reporting needs financial statements, comply with the provisions of law, tax reporting or internal management.

12. Application of the simple calculation method for non-essential constituent units is the use of indicators under relevant regulations on inter-country profit reporting (total turnover and payable corporate income tax for the current year) to replace the norms under the Global Minimum Tax Regulations (income, turnover and tax within the scope of application have been adjusted) to determine the satisfaction of the liability reduction criteria as prescribed in Article 12 of this Decree.

13. Relevant regulations on inter-country profit reporting are regulations of the supreme parent company or the parent company's country submitting inter-country profit statements on behalf of the supreme parent company.
