Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Monday argued for a global minimum tax rate to help pay for President Biden’s massiveTreasury Secretary Janet YellenA global minimum tax is a corporate tax rate that the major world economies would need to agree on in principle and pledge not to undercut—the idea is that this coordination across the globe will prevent multinational companies from relocating in search of lower rates, because rates would be essentially the same everywhere.
Yellen is pushing for the minimum as a way to avert a “race to the bottom”—a trend where countries slash their corporate rates as a way to encourage foreign investment and create a more favorable business environment than their neighbors, driving global tax rates lower and lower as they compete with each other.
In a speech to the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Yellen emphasized the importance of “stable tax systems” that generate enough revenue to “invest in essential public goods and respond to crises.” Because Biden also plans to raise the domestic corporate tax rate from 21% to 28% while simultaneously discouraging American companies from moving jobs and production abroad, it’s critical that lower rates in other parts of the world don’t undercut his message at home. last month that Yellen was working with her international counterparts, including finance ministers in Germany and France, to reach an agreement on the global minimum tax.
