The increasing ability of
multinational enterprises (MNEs) to shift profits across jurisdictions has created
significant challenges for corporate tax revenue mobilization, particularly in
developing economies where tax revenues are essential for financing public
development programmes. Although the OECD/G20 Global Minimum Tax Reform seeks
to address these challenges through Pillar Two implementation and improved
international tax cooperation, empirical evidence on its effect on corporate
tax revenue mobilization remains limited, especially in comparative studies
involving developing and OECD economies. This study assessed the effect of
Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax Implementation and International Tax Compliance
Frameworks on Corporate Tax Revenue Mobilization in Nigeria and selected OECD
economies. The study adopted a quantitative panel research design using
secondary data obtained from international tax databases, fiscal reports, and
national tax authority publications covering a five-year period. The data were
analysed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Hausman
specification test, and fixed effects panel regression estimation. The findings
revealed that Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax Implementation had a positive and
significant effect on corporate tax revenue mobilizations (β = 0.038, p =
0.009), indicating that stronger implementation of global minimum tax rules
contributes to improved corporate tax revenue generation. Similarly,
International Tax Compliance Frameworks significantly influenced corporate tax
revenue mobilizations (β = 0.052, p = 0.005), demonstrating the importance of
tax transparency, reporting systems, and administrative capacity in achieving
revenue gains. The study recommends that governments strengthen Pillar Two
implementation mechanisms and improve international tax compliance
infrastructure to enhance corporate tax revenue mobilizations.
