US: Trump win puts global corporate tax deal ‘in peril’

As published on: afr.com, Friday 15 November, 2024.

Attempts to stop some of the world’s biggest companies shifting profits across borders to avoid paying tax are “in peril” following Donald Trump’s definitive win in the US presidential election, experts said.

A global deal inked at the Paris-based OECD in 2021 was expected to raise the tax take from the world’s biggest multinationals by up to $US192 billion a year. Several countries – including EU member states, the UK, Norway, Australia, South Korea, Japan and Canada – partly introduced the pact this year.
