Key Objectives
- Establish a minimum global corporate tax rate.
- Reallocate taxing rights to countries where sales occur, regardless of physical presence.
- Reduce incentives for companies to shift profits to low-tax jurisdictions.
Potential Impacts
The reforms could lead to:
- Increased tax revenues for governments worldwide.
- A more level playing field for businesses.
- Reduced tax-related distortions in investment decisions.
Challenges Ahead
Despite the progress, challenges remain, including:
- Reaching a consensus among all participating countries.
- Implementing the reforms effectively.
- Addressing potential unintended consequences.
The ongoing negotiations and discussions are crucial for shaping the future of international taxation and ensuring a more sustainable and equitable global economy.
