New 15% corporate tax rate unlikely to be reconsidered – US treasury secretary
Janet Yellen has dismissed concerns the global tax rate could increase further following a bilateral meeting with Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe. Ms Yellen arrived in Dublin for a bilateral meeting with Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe on Monday, to discuss progress on the newly agreed OECD worldwide tax rate. She denied that Ireland, which had long defended its 12.5% corporate tax rate, had been “cajoled” into signing up to the agreement. Ireland is understood to have objected successfully to a provision in the deal that would set the tax “at least” at 15%, amid fears it could rise further. Ms Yellen appeared to rule out any further hikes in future.
Speaking from Government Buildings, she said: “I think we have agreed that 15% is the global minimum tax. “Now, of course, individual countries may choose themselves to establish a higher tax, but I expect many countries to adopt the 15% tax. “I don’t think that there’s broad agreement on that. “It works for many countries and I don’t think that that’s something that is going to be reconsidered as a global minimum.” The European Commission is to develop proposals on implementing the new tax rate in the coming weeks, Minister Donohoe said. Mr Donohoe, who also serves as president of the Eurogroup of finance ministers, declined to comment on rumours that pillar one of the agreement could fail to pass through the US congress.

Japan PM Kishida leaves for COP26 after general election
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida left Japan on Tuesday to attend the 26th U.N. Climate Change Conference of the Parties, known as COP26, just after his ruling party won Sunday's general election and secured a mandate to pursue his policies. The visit to Glasgow, Scotland, marks Kishida's first overseas trip since becoming prime minister on Oct. 4. He succeeded Yoshihide Suga who last year committed Japan to the goal of achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 but stepped down partly due to public discontent with his handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
