OECD Global Minimum Tax
ZIMMER BIOMET HOLDINGS, INC. · 2026-08-05 · Importance 29 · Surprise 24 · In source text
Zimmer Biomet expects its future effective tax rate to remain below the 21.0 percent U.S. corporate tax rate because of its earnings mix across lower-tax foreign jurisdictions. The company states that the OECD Pillar 2 framework could impose a 15 percent global minimum corporate tax on companies exceeding applicable revenue and profit thresholds. Management cannot currently reasonably estimate the framework’s impact on financial results.
Key facts
- On January 5, 2026, the OECD/G20 announced the Side-by-Side (SbS) package which modifies the operation of Pillar 2 rules and fully exempts U.S.-parented groups from application of two of the three Pillar 2 top up taxes. source
- Members of the OECD have agreed in principle to a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (Pillar 2). source
