Will a global minimum tax rate stop corporate tax dodging? | Inside Story

Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “Will a global minimum tax rate stop corporate tax dodging? | Inside Story” – below is their description.

Tax avoidance has long been a controversial practice in global business, but the world’s largest economies are trying to stop this.

Leaders of the G20 group have endorsed a global minimum tax rate for multinationals of 15 percent.

The deal followed discussions between 140 countries earlier this month.

But four countries, including Kenya and Nigeria, say that rate isn’t high enough.

So will the plan prevent tax dodging?
