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.

The changes are expected to be introduced in the FY26 Budget.

India will be able to collect 'top-up tax' from MNCs that underreport profits in low-tax jurisdictions through mechanisms like the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax (QDMTT) and Income Inclusion Rule (IIR).
