Deal to make MNCs to pay 15% tax marred by loopholes: EU backed watchdog

In a major reform of the international taxation system, about 140 countries, including India, have agreed to an overhaul of global tax norms to ensure that multinationals pay taxes wherever they operate and at a minimum of 15 per cent rate.
