WILLEMSTAD – The Curaçao Parliament will resume its public meeting on Tuesday, September 1, to continue consideration of legislation introducing a minimum tax and making related changes to Curaçao’s profit tax and collection laws.
According to an official announcement from Parliament, the meeting will begin at 9:00 a.m. in the parliamentary chamber at Wilhelminaplein 4.
The meeting is a continuation of the public session that was suspended on Thursday, August 27.
Parliament will resume consideration of agenda item two, concerning the draft National Ordinance on Minimum Tax 2024. The proposal would establish rules for a minimum tax while amending the General National Ordinance on National Taxes, the 1940 Profit Tax Ordinance and the 1954 Collection Ordinance.
The legislation is identified as parliamentary year document 2025-2026-251.
The minimum tax legislation is particularly significant for Curaçao because it concerns the international framework establishing a minimum effective tax rate of 15 percent for large multinational and domestic groups that fall within its scope.
The measure forms part of Curaçao’s response to changes in the international corporate tax environment, where jurisdictions are adapting their tax systems to global minimum-tax standards.
Tuesday’s meeting will give Members of Parliament another opportunity to debate the proposed legislation and its implications for Curaçao’s tax system and international financial position.
The session will be held under the direction of the Vice President of Parliament, according to the announcement dated August 27.
