G20 leaders approve global tax reform deal

  • Some 136 countries representing more than 90 percent of global GDP have signed a OECD-brokered deal to more fairly tax multinational companies and enact a minimum tax on global corporations of 15 percent
Published October 30, 2021

ROME: G20 leaders have formally endorsed the global agreement for a minimum 15 percent corporate tax, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said Saturday, hailing it as a "historic" step.

"Today, every G20 head of state endorsed an historic agreement on new international tax rules, including a global minimum tax that will end the damaging race to the bottom on corporate taxation," she said.

Some 136 countries representing more than 90 percent of global GDP have signed a OECD-brokered deal to more fairly tax multinational companies and enact a minimum tax on global corporations of 15 percent.

Global tax deal seeks to end havens, criticized for ‘no teeth’

The mini-revolution, first mooted in 2017 and given a boost through the support of US President Joe Biden, is due to come into effect in 2023 -- but the deadline could slip, partly due to resistance among US lawmakers.

US internet giants such as Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple -- experts in basing themselves in low-tax countries to minimise their tax bills -- are particular targets of the new global regulation.
