Expansion
Singhania said that after Ireland and Hungary agreed, a political agreement has been reached in 136 countries including the G20 and all OECD countries. He said that by 2023, when this agreement comes into force, there will be a redistribution of 125 billion tax benefits annually and MNCs will pay a minimum tax of 15 percent.
In a statement, Singhania said the global community’s move towards a two-pillar solution of the OECD Inclusive Framework is a major step towards tackling the international tax challenges of digitisation. He said the newly enacted ‘Nalpability and Profit Allocation Rules’ (Column 1) and ‘Global Minimum Tax Rules’ (Column 2) would ensure that large multinationals would pay a substantial part of the tax in India.
Simply put, column one deals with the sharing of additional profit margins between different countries, and column two deals with tax rules and minimum taxes. The agreement is to come into force by 2023 but the deadline for implementing Pillar II has been extended to 2024.
Announcing this agreement on Friday, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) said that the lawmakers of every country will have to ratify this agreement only then it will come into force, but 136 countries reaching this agreement is a big achievement in itself. Is.
India will benefit
Deloitte India Partner said that with this change, India will also have to share the tax net of its large companies with other countries. However, being a huge market for global multinationals, India will ultimately benefit from this tax reform agreement. This tax reform agreement will replace hundred years old international tax rules.
Taxes already levied will have to be abolished
However, upon coming into force of this agreement, all countries will have to abolish all types of digital service tax and other such tax structures. India will also have to commit to abolishing taxes like Digital Service Tax or Equalization Levy under this. The agreement provides that no such new tax will be levied on any company from October 8 to December 31, 2023.
