"[The tax increase] is about making sure that governments have stable tax systems that raise sufficient revenue to invest in essential public goods and respond to crises, and that all citizens fairly share the burden of financing the government," the treasury secretary will reportedly say. "We are working with G20 nations to agree to a global minimum corporate tax rate that can stop the race to the bottom," she will state.
According to the news organization, the speech will aim to boost support for President Joe Biden's plan to use corporate taxes to fund his 2.0 trillion dollars infrastructure plan.
"Raising taxes will not slow" the United States economy, President Joe Biden claimed on Friday. All his administration is asking is that "corporate America" pays "their fair share," he specified, adding that the new corporate tax policy he proposed "will make the economy function better and will create more energy."
The Biden administration is reportedly looking to increase the corporate tax rate from 21 percent to 28 percent and impose a global minimum tax on profits from foreign subsidiaries.
