The o. Finance ministers from several of the worlds richest countries met in person in london on friday. High on the agenda is an american proposal for a global minimum corporate Tax Rate. Yes, tax can be boring, but this is what pays for schools. Roads. I Health Care social security, so who would be a against a proposal like that . And could it actually be unfair . Im so gayle in berlin and this is the day oh the that the global me mom does that. The higher rate would be a very powerful instrument to corporate taxes, avoidance countries that benefit from Tax Competition has no interest in high group minimum duct, it becomes pointless for companies to book profits to move activities to low tech places. This could change the face of the also on the day, germany could see a victory for the far right this weekend, Vantu Migration Alternative for germany Partys Neck and neck. With chancellor michaels, conservatives, and a key state election. The i want to do one more week um we want our old ways back. We dont want to take anything away from anyone. We just went back the country that existed before the wave of immigration Velo License and we want the old state of things and then well start the mission going for the welcome to the day where today we start, we talk before your eyes glaze over let me get britains Finance Ministers, richard sumac, chancellor of the exchequer. To tell you what you already knew. This is important, and heres why. This global digital economy will rely on them the was lost in the i would just say the world will not money, couldnt afford a decent microphone. Mr. Soon as were speaking, as the Finance Ministers of 7 of the worlds richest economies met in london to try and agree a worldwide minimum corporate Tax Rate, united states, a suggested 15 percent regardless of where companies headquartered. So lets put that in context. Japan has the highest corporate Tax Rates at 31 percent followed by germany. And you can see the u. S. And the u. K. In the middle and the switzerland and ireland at the bottom island with a rate of just 12 and a Half Percent. Thats a key reason why firms like Facebook And Apple have chosen it as their european base. Lets bring in the alex combo, whose chief executive of the Tax Justice Network Division Fellow at Kings College london. Welcome to d w. So does the world need a worldwide corporate Tax Rate . It really does, you know, this is about ending a process thats been going for, for decades 7, as richie sue next and really all the way back to 19 twenties. This race to the bottom. A competition. Not for the place where the real activity takes place, but for the places where you can shift the profits. So you have your real activity in the u. K, or france or germany, but you shift your profits into the netherlands or luxemburg ok. And you enD Up paying very little tax, its about interrupting that process and getting back on track with actually raising revenues to pay for the public services that we will need. So its all these countries, all these rich countries are losing so much money. Why havent they acted on this before . Thats a really good question. One of the problems, you know, when the league of nations set these rules in the twenties and thirties, they were really the group of imperial powers. Now the equivalent nowadays is the o, e c, d, the group of rich countries in which the g 7 group of the most powerful countries really dominate. And theyre faced with a bit of a bit of a binding. On the one hand, they want the revenues, and especially in the pandemic, they have the same needs as every other country to raise more revenues to pay for their public health systems and recovery process. But these are also the countries where most of the biggest multinational companies all headquartered. And in some ways these countries are kind of like that somehow. What is gooD For their multi nationals is gooD For them. And theyve endeD Up kind of supporting the system of tax haven, re of Profit Shifting in Tax Abuse that we reckon cost the world about 245000000000. 00 in last revenues every year. This is an attempt to get back the risk lou is that the g 7 countrieS Do something that is gooD For the g 7 countries and not gooD For the rest of the world. And we need to make sure lower income countries as well. Getting a benefit from the, the reforms that are coming through. Okay, so i want to come to that because on the face of it, its basically sounds great if everyone is paying 15 percent and no one gets to run away to our tax haven. But you just picking up on that point, you think that this actually still favors the rich countries where the company is headquartered, rather than the poor countries where the work might actually be done. Yeah, it does. Look, you talked earlier about the statutory headline Tax Rates. If we look at someone like the netherlands, the rate is 25 percent luxembourg, i think is 28 percent. Even island, 12 and a Half Percent is much higher than the effective rate that multi nationals actually pay in those countries. Often if they can shift their profits in, their only paying 12345 percent as an effective rate. So to begin with, a 15 percent effective rate, even though thats much lower than wed like, wed like it to be 25 percent. But even 15 percent is much higher than the big multi nationals are paying. So that already puts something between 275. 00 and perhaps 460000000000. 00 of extra revenues on the table each year. But the 2nd question, as you say iS Distribution. Where does that go . The o e c, d, the, you know, this group of rich countries has brought forward a proposal under which almost all of the benefits. All of the chopping up of those on the tax profits would go to the headquarters countries now who all the headquarters countries for the biggest multi nationals. Its the g 7 and some other early cd members. So the rest of the world would get very little. We think the g 7 alone, which is about 10 percent of the Worlds Population would get more than 60 percent of those additional revenues under the cd proposal. The alternative that we put forward and has a lot of support, i think from groups of low income countries in particular, is to say, will work out the under tax profit. And then well share it. Not with the headquarters countries only, but instead well, well share it with the countries where the real activity takes place. Sure. Where the multi nationals have their employees and where they make their sales. And if you do it that way, suddenly youre talking about a benefit. Pretty much for everyone. Something between 10 and 30 percent of public health budgets in additional ref runs for countries all income levels, new tax could be so interesting, Alex Cover from the Tax Justice Network.

Its a question, protest as are asking themselves, faced with an intensifying correct down from beijing fighting for democracy. Hes getting hotter. Ah. Okay, so to tell your story. In 2013, the nfl agreed to pay 865000000. 00 in compensation and medical fees to former players whose unfilled concussions had caused a brain injuries and cognitive disorders like dementia. But several black former players received nothing despite their injuries. Turns out this is because of something called Race Norming which assumes that the average black player has a lower level of cognitive function than white players. So the effect of this is that even though the vast majority of f, l retirees are black, black players have to demonstrate a greater level of damage the white players to get the same pay out and many and with nothing this week, the Nfl Promise to stop using Race Norming, and to review the cases of black players who feel they have been unfairly discriminated against. Well, lets get into this with that dr. Lucy, a chamber whos an associate professor of sociology and american studies at the City University of new york. Shes currently working on her 2nd book, the creation of the concussion crisis, about the effects of rule changes on american football. Welcome to the w. I read the Story Yesterday and itS Done me. I was last words that yet again, rich white people haD Found yet another way of cheating. Black people is cheating, too strong. A word in this case. I think that it goes far beyond merely cheating in this one case. But parades, medicine in a number of specialties. I think its, its racial discrimination at its most poignant. So well talk about what else this might, this might go on shortly. But 1st, what was the Nfl Defense of this race . Normally in a sport where so many people are black so then im gonna spell has from the beginning maintain that there is no discrimination with race, norming, and not Race Norming iS Designed in this case to prevent bias against black players. So the use of 2 different standards in the Nfl Reasoning was to protect black players from being compared to white counterpart to might have had more education, easier upbringings, etc. And so where did this come from . Because im still reading from the idea that ok, this is to protect black tires, we will, we will make you have to be worse injured. You will have to work harder and just get past that in order to get the same pay out as as white play if and this protects you. I dont get the double think. Yeah, i mean i think that as i said before, Race Question is, is it standard in many specialities within medicine . So in some ways what the nfl did wasnt a huge departure within the the field of neuro cognitive testing. These different standards were introduced in order to acknowledge that history, the effect of education on, on black men and women starting and Plantation Slavery. And so the idea is that, well, theres been less access because of Plantation Slavery because of jim Crow Era rules laws and the access to education for black men and women in black children is, is much more difficult than, than white children. So the argument is that these differences are, are, are, so in a, whether theyre genetically based, or in this case, education socially, culturally produced about we have to have 2 different standards. Its very hard to defend. I mean, im a completely opposed to race correction. And in all its forms, in this case, i think that the nfl probably found a way to, to, to save some money in a, in a highly contested settlement. And it coulD Use thiS Discourse of being anti bias while discriminating and it covered them. I mean, the, the field covered them in medicine covered them. So what else do we see this and what else is race normally used . So rave newman norman, has used in the number of specialties. Its used in pulmonology. Its used anD Frolic g. Its used in that trick and it has really big consequences. It really compromises the health of black patients. And it affects care and it affects compensation and cases like this. So this isnt the 1st Case that has had the issue of, of, of Race Norming raised in the late ninetys. There was a special case out of baltimore, maryland in which the company on Scoring Corning wanted to use race correction. And the Plaintiff Attorney fought very hard against it. Oh, it, it really affects lived Experience Effect finD Financial awards. I think that that in this particular case, like in the case of owens corning, theres been a tremendous amount of activism, largely from an F L Y who have just decided they dont want to to live with without compensation or with care. And it just happened that will they be there . Very interesting, very sad as well. Dr. Lucy trimball from the City University of new york. Thank you so much. Thank you.
