Treasury Announces Agreement on the Transition from Existing
Indian Equalization Levy to New Multilateral Solution Agreed by
the OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework
November 24, 2021

WASHINGTON – Last month, an historic agreement was reached between 137 countries of
the OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework – representing nearly 95% of the worldʼs GDP – on a two
Pillar package of reforms to the international tax framework to be implemented in 2023.
These reforms will provide for a tax framework that is fairer, more stable, and better equipped
to meet the needs of a 21st century global economy.
In support of that agreement, the United States supports Indiaʼs announcement of their
agreement to a transition from the existing India equalization levy to the new multilateral
solution, and India and the United States have committed to working together through
constructive dialogue on this matter.
This compromise represents a pragmatic solution that helps ensure that countries can focus
their collective e orts on the successful implementation of the OECD/G20 Inclusive
Frameworkʼs historic agreement on a new multilateral tax regime and allows for the
termination of trade measures adopted in response to the Indian equalization levy.
Overall, this political agreement is yet further demonstration of our commitment to working
together to reach consensus, and to deliver far-reaching multilateral reforms that help
support our national economies and public finances.
