Global Minimum Tax: A Comprehensive Overview.
In recent years, discussions around global minimum tax have gained significant traction in the realm of international taxation. With multinational corporations often exploiting loopholes and shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions, there has been a growing consensus among policymakers that a global minimum tax could help address these issues. In this article, we will delve into the basics of global minimum tax, its importance, and its impact on multinational corporations and the global economy.
What is Global Minimum Tax?
Global minimum tax is a tax policy that aims to ensure that multinational corporations pay a minimum level of tax regardless of where they operate or where their profits are booked. This policy is designed to prevent profit shifting and tax avoidance strategies that allow corporations to minimize their tax liabilities by shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions.
