The Latest on the Global Tax Agreement: Why Moving Your Business to the United States is an Advantage

Global tax rules are changing fast. The OECD’s global tax agreement, signed by more than 130 countries, is reshaping how multinational corporations are taxed. With a minimum corporate tax of 15% now being implemented across much of the world, many companies are reconsidering where they establish operations. For international business owners, this makes the United States an increasingly attractive destination.

What the Global Tax Agreement Means for Businesses

The agreement, also known as the OECD/G20 Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), aims to prevent large companies from shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions. In practice, this means:

• A global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% will apply in many jurisdictions.

• Countries are adopting new rules to tax profits where sales occur, not just where a company is headquartered.

• Traditional low-tax havens are losing their competitive advantage.

For many businesses, this reduces the benefit of incorporating in offshore jurisdictions and increases the importance of expanding into stable, transparent, and high-opportunity markets.

Why the United States is Gaining an Edge

The United States offers unique advantages in this new global tax landscape:

• Stable Legal and Regulatory Environment – Unlike emerging markets that may rapidly shift their policies, U.S. law provides predictability and strong protections for investors.

• Market Access – The U.S. remains the world’s largest consumer market, making it not only a tax-wise choice but also a growth opportunity.

• Competitive Tax Incentives – While the U.S. corporate tax rate is higher than the 15% minimum, many businesses can benefit from state-level incentives, research and development credits, and special economic zones.

• Capital Access – Establishing in the U.S. opens the door to American banks, investors, and venture capital.

Immigration and Business Expansion Go Hand in Hand

Relocating your business often means moving key personnel as well. The United States provides pathways such as the E-2 investor visa, the L-1 intracompany transfer visa, and eventually the EB-5 investor green card. At the Law Office of Andrew R Sones, we help entrepreneurs, executives, and families take advantage of these immigration strategies to make relocation smooth and compliant.
