Argentina and Nigeria are pushing back against a proposed 15% global minimum tax rate, saying it’s not high enough to address global issues.
Argentina’s Minister of Economy Martin Guzman on Monday said the 15% rate is “way too low.” And Matthew Gbonjubola, head of international tax at the Federal Inland Revenue Service of Nigeria, said a 15% rate would be unlikely to benefit African countries where the average rate is 28%. They spoke at an event hosted by the Intergovernmental Group of 24 developing countries and the Independent Commission for the Reform of International Corporate Taxation.
