Leaders of industrialized nations hope minimum tax agreement could form basis of a global pact this summer

U.S. President Joe Biden’s administration gave the stalled talks fresh impetus by proposing a minimum global corporation tax rate of 15 per cent, above the level in countries such as Ireland but below the lowest level in the G7.Germany and France also welcomed the agreement, although French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he would fight for a higher global minimum corporate tax rate than 15 per cent, which he described as a “starting point”.

The agreement does not make clear exactly which businesses will be covered by the rules, referring only to “the largest and most profitable multinational enterprises”.European countries have feared that a business such as Amazon could slip through the net as it reports lower profit margins than most other well-known technology companies.

We will provide for appropriate coordination between the application of the new international tax rules and the removal of all Digital Services Taxes, and other relevant similar measures, on all companies.We support moving towards mandatory climate-related financial disclosures that provide consistent and decision-useful information for market participants and that are based on the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures framework, in line with domestic regulatory frameworks.

The fed Corp tax rate is already 15% before one adds the provincial tax rate (i.e., Ontario Corp tax rate is 11.5% or 26.5% in total). So , big change. The real challenge is the income base and when a corp is subject to tax in a host country

How about equal pay for their employees globally? With same benefits, cuts, etc? G7

So our rates are going to go up to cover the extra cost and the government will end up bailing out these companies yet again with that money they are taking. Seems the savings don't get past to the consumer but the governments do seem to be getting richer.
