The seven great powers, meeting in London, committed Saturday to a minimum global corporate tax rate set at "at least 15%", according to a joint statement.
A more concrete agreement is expected for the G20 meeting in July in Venice.
The G7 Finance has committed to the goal of a minimum global corporate tax rate of "at least 15%", according to a joint statement obtained on Saturday after a meeting of two days in London.
The deal by the Seven Great Powers was called "historic" and "a moment of pride" in a televised statement by Chancellor of the Exchequer, British Finance Minister Rishi Sunak, who chaired the meeting as host country of the G7.
Taxation "adapted to the digital age"
The compromise of the Seven (United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United States, Canada) for a global tax reform "adapted to the digital age", as described by Rishi Sunak, thus sends an important boost for the G20 meeting to be held in Venice in July, where a more concrete agreement is expected.
The final text of the press release obtained also mentions the commitment to a better distribution of the rights to tax the profits of large multinationals, mainly digital and American, the second "pillar" of the reform put forward by the OECD and including nearly 140 country.
