The increasing globalization of business activities and
the expansion of multinational enterprises have intensified challenges
associated with corporate tax base erosion, profit shifting, and declining
corporate tax revenue efficiency across jurisdictions. Despite international
efforts to reform the corporate taxation framework, evidence remains limited regarding
the extent to which Global Minimum Tax Reform can improve corporate tax revenue
mobilization, particularly when comparing OECD and developing economies. This
study examined the effect of Global Minimum Tax Reform on Corporate Tax Revenue
Mobilization: Evidence from OECD and Developing Economies. The study adopted an ex-post facto research
design using a comparative panel data approach. Secondary data covering OECD
and developing economies were analyzed using descriptive statistics,
correlation analysis, and panel regression techniques. The Hausman
specification test was conducted to determine the appropriate estimation model
between fixed-effects and random-effects approaches. The findings revealed that
Corporate Tax Base Protection Mechanism has a positive and significant effect
on Corporate Tax Revenue Efficiency, indicating that stronger measures against
profit shifting and tax base erosion enhance corporate tax revenue
mobilization. The study also found that Effective Tax Rate Harmonization significantly
improves Corporate Tax Revenue Efficiency by reducing harmful tax competition
and strengthening international tax coordination. The study recommends that
governments strengthen corporate tax administration systems, improve
international tax cooperation, and develop effective mechanisms for
implementing Global Minimum Tax standards. Developing economies should receive
technical support to enhance institutional capacity and maximize the revenue
benefits of global tax reforms.
