This article will examine the challenges and opportunities that global minimum tax policies present for developing countries, including
their potential impact on tax revenue and economic development.
Global minimum tax policies have been a hot topic in recent discussions among policymakers, economists, and multinational corporations
(MNCs). While these policies aim to create a more equitable global tax system, they also present challenges and opportunities for developing
countries. In this article, we will explore these aspects and their potential impact on the tax revenue and economic development of
developing nations.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, global minimum tax policies present both challenges and opportunities for developing countries. While these policies may pose challenges in terms of tax competition, erosion of the tax base, and compliance costs, they also have the potential to increase tax revenue, level the playing field, and enhance the investment climate. Developing countries will need to carefully consider these factors and develop strategies to effectively navigate the impact of global minimum tax policies on their economies. Other factors to consider include proper enforcement of the mechanism and close monitoring of tax policies to address emerging challenges and loopholes in the global tax system.
