How Can Developing Countries Adapt to the Global Minimum Tax?
Is it time for developing nations to consider a domestic minimum tax or review their tax incentives? Could doing so present legal risks? How can countries estimate how much tax revenue is at stake?
As the OECD prepares to release expanded guidance on the proposed global minimum tax, IISD and the International Senior Lawyers Project (ISLP) released A Guide for Developing Countries on How to Understand and Adapt to the Global Minimum Tax as a draft for consultation.
IISD and ISLP designed the guide to help policy-makers in developing countries navigate the shifting landscape of international taxation as the world moves toward adopting a global minimum tax.
During a virtual event on December 15 the authors presented the guide, discussed key issues with a panel of experts, and responded to feedback and comments from participants.
