About
The roll-out of the Global Minimum Tax (GloBE) proposal is about to start, but there are still debates regarding its desirability, its concrete design and its effects. It seems clear that when countries start adopting a global minimum tax, more interactions between different countries’ legislations and tax policies are created. These complex interactions, however, make it hard to evaluate different designs options. Hence, the purpose of this seminar is to take stock of the debates on the interaction between global minimum taxes and countries’ tax regimes.
