Sitharaman hails BRICS push for common ground on international taxation

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has underscored the importance of BRICS nations working toward a shared position on international taxation, describing the effort as particularly significant at a moment when tax-related rules are being redrawn across the world.

Speaking in New Delhi, Sitharaman indicated that the drive among BRICS members to find common ground reflects the growing need for emerging economies to coordinate their positions as established global frameworks come under pressure and revision.

The remarks highlight India's interest in shaping the direction of international tax policy through multilateral groupings, as governments worldwide grapple with issues ranging from digital taxation to profit-shifting by multinational corporations.
