Global tax agreement unlikely to meet 'ambitious' time frame: experts
Singapore

For one, Singapore - and several other jurisdictions - will have to amend their legislation, for some of the key changes to be implemented; for another, the uncertainty around various timelines is casting doubt on how some of these measures will be effectively introduced.
