Finance ministers from the world's twenty largest economies reached a landmark agreement on a framework to enforce a 15% global minimum corporate tax. The deal is expected to generate an estimated $220 billion in additional annual tax revenues for governments worldwide.
What the Deal Covers
The framework requires all G20 nations to introduce domestic legislation ensuring that multinationals with revenues exceeding €750 million pay at least 15% tax in every jurisdiction where they operate.
Reaction
Business lobby groups warned that increased compliance costs could deter foreign direct investment. However, the IMF estimated the deal would reduce profit-shifting by 50% and increase global corporate tax revenues by 9%.
