## GLOBAL MINIMUM CORPORATE TAX

## 3521. SHRI KARTI P. CHIDAMBARAM:

Will the Minister of FINANCE be pleased to state:

- (a) whether any assessment has been made on how much India could benefit if the global minimum corporate tax was enforced in the country; and
- (b) if so, the details of such assessment?

## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF FINANCE (SH. PANKAJ CHAUDHARY)

(a) & (b) :

On 8th October 2021, 136 jurisdictions out of the 140 members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation  &  Development  (OECD)/G20  Inclusive  Framework  on  Base  Erosion  and  Profit Shifting  (including  India)  joined  the  Statement  on  the  Two-Pillar  Solution  to  address  the  tax challenges  arising  from  the  Digitalization  of  the  Economy  which  includes  an  agreement  on  a Global Minimum Corporate Tax of 15%.

OECD in a publication of October 2021 has estimated that Global Minimum Corporate Tax of 15% will generate around $150 billion as additional global tax revenue per year. The OECD, however, states that the precise revenue impact will depend on the extent of implementation of the global minimum corporate tax, the nature and scale of reactions by multinational enterprises and governments and future economic developments.

Given the unpredictability of the extent of behavioral changes expected from taxpayers and low tax jurisdictions, it is not possible to quantify the benefit that would accrue to India due to the implementation of a Global Minimum Corporate Tax of 15%.
