AP-Yonhap A total of 130 countries have agreed a global tax reform ensuring that multinationals pay their fair share wherever they operate, the OECD said on Thursday, but some EU states refused to sign up. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development said in a statement that global companies, including U.S. behemoths Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Apple would be taxed at a rate of at least 15 percent once the deal is implemented.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said closing some of the most notorious tax loopholes in the world would generate an estimated $US150 billion in additional tax revenue each year. Australia has been seeking to crack down on tax avoidance by multinationals since 2017, but has struggled to raise revenue from tech giants like Apple, Facebook and Google.
