ROMA – Today the leaders of the G20, at the Rome summit, will approve the agreement on the minimum tax. They will undertake to implement this new taxation for multinationals by 2023 already fixed in the OECD framework.
The agreed measure provides for a minimum rate of 15% for multinationals and would require them to pay taxes in the countries in which they operate.
A senior US official – quoted by the television network Cnn – he explained that all the pillars of the agreement will be ratified. In his opinion, an independent study calculates annual revenues for the US alone at $ 60 billion.
The international agreements on the mimimum tax led to a trade truce between the USA and four EU countries (Italy, France, Spain and Austria).

“We certainly will not be involved in the specifics of what happens inside theOpec, but we have a voice and we intend to use it on a problem that is affecting the global economy. There are large energy producers who have spare capacity. We are encouraging them to use them to ensure a stronger and more sustainable recovery around the world. “
