Türkiye says minimum tax in pipeline for multinational companies
Türkiye is set to implement a minimum corporate tax on multinational companies, following a global agreement reached by approximately 140 countries under the OECD for a 15% global minimum tax. This new regulation aims to prevent countries from claiming taxes that could be rightfully due to Türkiye. The tax collection process under the new regime involves countries being able to claim the difference if a multinational company’s subsidiary pays less than 15% in corporate tax. Failure to implement the global minimum tax could result in Türkiye losing its taxation rights to other countries. The OECD estimates that after the global minimum tax is in place, only 7% of corporate profits will be taxed below the 15% threshold, leading to an increase in corporate tax income for governments globally.
