That comes in the wake of an agreement reached by Hanoi and more than 130 other governments to combat a “race to the bottom” in which countries have been vying for investors through ever-lower tax rates. The deal was brokered by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and will set a minimum corporate tax rate of 15%, with Group of 20 chair India wanting details to be finalized by July.
