In London, UK, G7 finance ministers voted on a landmark deal to put in place a minimum corporate income tax rate on Saturday (June 5th).
It is a historic agreement that looks like a revolution. G7 finance ministers met in London on Saturday (June 5th) to discuss a global tax.
The latter concerns a minimum taxation of the profits of multinationals at 15% in order to avoid tax dumping.
"With this agreement and this minimum tax rate, we can ensure that countries and companies, wherever they operate, are on an equal footing," said Rishi Sunak, Minister of Finance of the Kingdom. -United.
"The digital giants really taxed"
This vote was made possible by the new administration Joe Biden, after Donald Trump torpedoed it three years ago.
Another measure directly targets hyper-profitable multinationals, such as digital giants. "It's historic because for the first time, the digital giants will be really taxed when they have largely escaped tax for years.
Concretely, you have a multinational that is making profits in France, that decides to relocate to a country where it pays only 1, 2 or 3% corporate tax. Well, it will have to pay the difference to France, "detailed Bruno Le Maire.
The agreement will be ratified next weekend by Joe Biden and the other G7 heads of state, and will then have to be adopted by the G20 next July in Italy.
I'm wondering what it entails.. there not much info with quick google searches. I mean: On paper it's only a few percent for the lowest corp tax in the g7/20: (They don't a have national representatives in these talks, small point for Calipso)
Ireland 12.5%
Cyprus 12.5%
Bulgaria 10%
Hungary 9%
All other 50ish countries have higher corp taxes. But that story becomes shadier with the largest multinationals, making deals with governments across borders, having different laws for especially deductibles on taxation. Just making the a minimum of 15% post deduction, is a completely different story.
The "another measure" actually seems more relevant at first glance ?
