India to assess benefits of OECD's global tax deal after US quits: Fin secy

India will evaluate the benefit of joining the OECD's global tax deal as the US deciding to withdraw from such a global pact has made it "impractical to implement", Finance Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey said on Tuesday. US President Donald Trump on January 20 in a Presidential memorandum had said that the "Global Tax Deal have no force or effect within the United States", thus nullifying the progress made so far by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to bring 140 countries on the same platform to levy a minimum 15 per cent tax on profits of multinational corporates. To a question on what would be India's stand on the global tax pact, Pandey said the US exit has added a lot of uncertainty and if the United States is not joining it then such a pact doesn't work out. Pandey, in a post-Budget interaction of Assocham, said the tax deal is a multilateral approach where the US is much integrally needed. "If the US has now said that it is walking out of it, then

Trump's exit from tax deal may not hit India from collection standpoint

The decision of the Trump administration to withdraw from the OECD's global tax deal will not have any impact on India, but it will severely affect the progress made thus far in reaching an international consensus on global minimum tax, experts said on Tuesday. Soon after taking charge, US President Donald Trump in a Presidential memorandum said that the "Global Tax Deal have no force or effect within the United States", thus nullifying the progress made so far by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to bring 140 countries on the same platform to levy a minimum 15 per cent tax on profits of multinational corporates. Nangia & Co LLP Managing Partner Rakesh Nangia said the impact of the US pulling out of the global tax deal would have monumental impact on the global tax landscape, especially for countries/jurisdictions which have already adopted/formulated rules in their domestic law for implementing Global anti-Base Erosion Model or GloBE rules (Pillar ..

Developed countries fulfilled $100 bn climate finance promise in 2022: OECD

Developed countries met their long-standing promise of mobilizing USD 100 billion a year to help developing countries mitigate and adapt to climate change in 2022, according to the latest data published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on Wednesday. This promise was made in Copenhagen in 2009 and was supposed to be met by 2020. Delays in achieving the USD 100 billion goal have eroded trust between developed and developing nations and have been a continual source of contention during annual climate negotiations. Developing nations argue they cannot be expected to reduce CO2 emissions faster if developed countries - historically responsible for climate change - do not provide enhanced financial support. According to the OECD, developed countries provided USD 115.9 billion in climate finance to developing countries in 2022. The data showed that public climate finance (bilateral and multilateral funds attributable to developed countries) accounted fo

World economy will slow in 2024 because of inflation, high rates, war: OECD

The global economy, which has proved surprisingly resilient this year, is expected to falter next year under the strain of wars, still-elevated inflation and continued high interest rates. The Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimated Wednesday that international growth would slow to 2.7% in 2024 from an expected 2.9% pace this year. That would amount to the slowest calendar-year growth since the pandemic year of 2020. A key factor is that the OECD expects the world's two biggest economies, the United States and China, to decelerate next year. The US economy is forecast to expand just 1.5% in 2024, from 2.4% in 2023, as the Federal Reserve's interest rate increases 11 of them since March 2022 continue to restrain growth. The Fed's higher rates have made borrowing far more expensive for consumers and businesses and, in the process, have helped slow inflation from its four-decade peak in 2022. The OECD foresees U.S. inflation dropping from 3.9% this
