To come into force in 2023. the 0ecd says that as a result, countries will collect around one hundred and 50 billion dollars in extra tax revenues each year. gregory daco is the chief us economist at oxford economics usa, and thinks the agreement is a step in the right direction. the level companies will no longer have this ability to choose the jurisdiction in which they decide to be taxed. this should help in terms of global coordination and it should also help reduce potential tensions betwee...
