13 min listen

With the G7 looming the range of subjects on the agenda is vast. One of the first items up is the proposal of a global corporate tax rate which President Joe Biden has already endorsed. The potential issue with this that James pointed out on the pod was:

“For this to work, this global corporate minimum tax, you need all the major players in the world economy signed up to it.”
