Statement from Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen On G7
Finance Ministers’ Commitment to Global Minimum Tax
June 5, 2021

The G7 Finance Ministers have made a significant, unprecedented commitment today that
provides tremendous momentum towards achieving a robust global minimum tax at a rate
of at least 15%. That global minimum tax would end the race-to-the-bottom in corporate
taxation, and ensure fairness for the middle class and working people in the U.S. and around
the world. The global minimum tax would also help the global economy thrive, by leveling
the playing field for businesses and encouraging countries to compete on positive bases,
such as educating and training our work forces and investing in research and development
and infrastructure.
