Fact: European Union Member States are in the process of implementing the global minimum tax in line with a directive unanimously agreed to at the end of 2022.
The international tax landscape is undergoing a major transformation, with the introduction of a global minimum tax rate of 15 percent for multinational enterprises (MNEs) by member jurisdictions of the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) in 2020. This aims to ensure that MNEs pay a minimum level of tax on their profits in countries where they operate, reducing the impact of preferential tax regimes and tax competition between countries.
