Global companies are benefiting from a prolonged decline in tax rates, new data from the OECD shows.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said he is confident the Group of 20 economies will back a deal on international tax, even as his country pushes for a higher minimum corporate rate.

The European Union’s plan to propose a new digital-services tax is unlikely to undermine global talks aimed at eliminating such levies, according to the head of the international group spearheading the discussions.

The world took a big step toward sweeping changes in taxation setting a minimum rate for corporations along with rules to share the spoils from multinationals.

The world’s richest nations have set the stage for a revolution in corporate taxation, but they still have their work cut out to actually achieve that overhaul.

The leaders of the biggest Western economies are expected to endorse a plan that focuses on super-wealthy individuals and businesses.

A tax deal between the world’s richest countries brings global governments a step closer to clawing back some power from technology giants that have used century-old regimes to build up wealth eclipsing the economies of most nations.

Small countries, including Ireland, have expressed concern about a global deal that could undermine their efforts to attract multinationals.

The club of rich nations secured a landmark deal that could help them collect more taxes and impose levies on U.S. tech giants such as Amazon and Facebook.

Group of Seven governments are nearing a deal to pursue a minimum corporate tax rate of at least 15% in international negotiations, but remain at odds over how to treat global technology companies.

This week’s finance ministers’ meeting may help lead to a broader deal in July or October.

A full global deal to overhaul taxation rules may not be achieved until October, said the chief of the OECD.

The Group of Seven meeting of finance officials in London next week must strike an agreement to corral the rest of the world into changing how much tax multinationals pay and where, French minister Bruno Le Maire said Thursday.

Finance ministers are due to begin meeting this week to home in on an accord that might feature both a minimum rate and encompass digital giants.

A U.S. proposal for a global minimum corporate tax of at least 15% met with an enthusiastic reception in Europe, bringing the world closer to a deal on sweeping changes to how much multinationals pay, and to which governments.

Technology hardware, health care and pharmaceutical companies would be most impacted by U.S. proposals to rewrite international tax rules, according to a new analysis.

Any changes to inheritance tax would feed into the broader upheaval that is coming to taxation in the world’s major economies.

A surprise U.S. drive to overhaul international corporate taxation promises a new era for governments to capture a bigger tax take from some of the most successful global businesses — if only the rest of the world can agree.

Group of 20 finance chiefs, encouraged by new U.S. proposals, pledged on Wednesday to reach a consensus on new rules by mid-year.

The U.S. has dropped a key demand in negotiations over digital taxation of technology companies such as Alphabet Inc.’s Google and Facebook Inc., lifting a barrier that had raised transatlantic trade tensions and prevented an international deal.
