1 OCT 2022Pillar Two: the global minimum tax and its implications for financing transactions
The last few years have seen discussions at an inter-governmental level, led by the OECD, on how to amend the international tax system to deal with the changing business practices created by the digital economy. This includes an agreement to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for large multi-national entities (MNEs). These discussions have now progressed to the stage where individual jurisdictions (including the UK) are beginning to introduce domestic legislation to implement the principles of the minimum tax, such that the theory is becoming reality.
