Global Multinational Business Standard
No matter where in the world your multinational enterprise is based, our Global Multinational Business Standard allows us to accredit your business with the Fair Tax Mark. The criteria against which we assess global multinationals focuses on five key areas: beneficial ownership, governance, tax policy, financial and tax reporting, and cash taxes paid.
