India is proposing to implement a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for multinational corporations.
India is aligning with the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) by adopting Pillar 2.
The rule will apply to multinational corporations (MNCs) with a global turnover exceeding 750 million euros.
