Global minimum tax implementation likely to be delayed until 2024

The expected push back is amidst recent developments in Europe.

The implementation of the global minimum tax of 15% by 2023 might be delayed until 2024, according to an expert from KPMG.

KPMG Partner Mark Addy said the pushback will likely be due to the recent developments in Europe – hitting record inflation, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, and more.

Addy, however, said the implementation will not be delayed beyond 2024 given the very strong momentum for the global minimum tax.

In anticipation of its implementation, Addy urged companies to “model the financial impact” of the cap on their business, and “review their existing structures and prepare their finance teams early in anticipation of the commencement date.”

Whilst multinational companies will face a “topped up” low-taxed profits, Addy underscored that they can still take advantage of Singapore's relatively low headline tax rate of 17%.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
