Making Sense of the Global Tax Carve-Out for US Companies
Wednesday, 7 January, 2026
The OECD just published the parameters of a deal that would exempt US companies from two key enforcement rules in the global minimum tax framework. The deal, which spans 88 pages in the form of administrative guidance, includes a slew of safe harbor rules that address everything from how US companies can get the exemption to more advantageous treatment of substance-based tax incentives like the US R&D credit. It includes a permanent, simplified global minimum tax calculation. Other countries would be able to obtain carve-outs like the ones obtained by the US and its multinational companies—if they meet certain criteria. This week on Talking Tax, reporters Lauren Vella and Somesh Jha discuss why the deal and the timing of its release is important, what it means for multinational businesses, how key US lawmakers reacted, and what the deal means for the efficacy of the global minimum tax going forward.
