Explanation – The OECD Global Tax Deal primarily aims to address the challenges of profit shifting and tax base erosion caused by multinational enterprises (MNEs). These practices involve MNEs exploiting gaps in tax rules to shift profits to low-tax jurisdictions, even when the income is generated elsewhere. The deal introduces measures to ensure that profits are taxed fairly where economic activities take place and value is created.
