Leaders of the world’s 20 biggest economies (G20) will endorse an OECD deal on a global minimum corporate tax of 15 per cent, draft conclusions of the two-day G20summit showed on Saturday, with a view to have the rules in force in 2023.
“We call on the OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting to swiftly develop the model rules and multilateral instruments as agreed in the Detailed Implementation Plan, with a view to ensure that the new rules will come into effect at global level in 2023,” the draft conclusions, seen by Reuters , said.
The conclusions are to be formally adopted on Sunday.
A big deal
In October, 136 countries reached a deal on a minimum tax on global corporations, including internet giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft and Apple to make it harder for them to avoid taxation by establishing offices in low-tax jurisdictions.
“This is more than just a tax deal, it's a reshaping of the rules of the global economy,” a senior US official told reporters.
