corporate tax rates. large companies like google, facebook and amazon have been paying taxes in countries where they have headquarters. and they use locations with low tax rates like ireland. the strategy allows them to pay only a small percentage of their profits. the global minimum tax aims to change that finance ministers from canada, france, italy, japan, britain, the u. s. and germany agreed to the proposal. german finance minister or law shoulds called the breakthrough a tax revolution. tax raising will be more difficult for big companies all over the world. and this is a good message for the people of our countries, and especially the big tech guy and giants where you have to pay their fair share. and this is also a good success. after years of negotiations, the agreement on a minimum global tax is historic. the rate is expected to be at least 15 percent

this process was multinational play one country against another and find lower and lower tax rate until there's very little that for anyone else. as you heard in the clip there, that makes it unfair for domestics and small businesses, but can't come up with the same kind of tax tricks and end up paying for themselves . while these big multi nationals, they're competing against simply are not doing that. but i have to say, although we've, we've got an important movement today, and 15 percent minimum rate could raise as much as $275000000000.00 a year in additional revenues. the way the g 7 has done this is the opposite of the principle of furnace that you would just hearing about the g 7 countries, 10 percent of the world's population. would we estimate, take more than 60 percent of those additional revenues just for themselves, because they only see the proposal that they're working on is so egregiously unfair . almost 100000000 mexicans are expected to vote later today in the biggest
