For more than four years, France, Germany, Italy and Spain have worked together to create an international tax system for the twenty-first century. It’s a multi-round story, but now it’s time to make a deal

– This came in a joint statement of the finance ministers of the four countries. Politicians stressed that introducing a fairer and more efficient international tax system was a priority even before last year’s economic crisis, but the pandemic situation has made negotiation even more urgent.

The two-day meeting will be chaired by British Chancellor of the Exchequer and Royal Adviser Rishi Sunak. This is the first time since the start of the pandemic that politicians have represented a group of developed countries. He told Sun before the meeting began that he believed they could make significant progress in tackling the world’s most pressing economic challenges. The weekend talks are also expected to pave the way for the 47th G7 summit to be held in the UK on June 11-13.

We are on the verge of concluding a historic agreement that will show the world that the G7 continues to act as a global power in setting the rules of the game for the international system of the twenty-first century.

– said Bruno Le Maire, French Finance Minister.

Schulz added that countries that had previously opposed the new international tax system needed to understand that the new concept represented a major breakthrough that they needed to agree on as soon as possible. Accordingly, the French Finance Minister invited Ireland to join the initiative, as it has the lowest tax rate in the European Union, at only 12.5%. So far, there is no common position on the part of the G7 that the minimum global tax rate will follow the 15 percent rate proposed by the United States or be at least 15 percent. Incidentally, the administration led by US President Joe Biden had previously proposed a 21 percent limit.

All companies involved must be subject to the new rules without exception
