Även om Frankrike inte fått med dig resten av EU på idén om en internetskatt, så går man själva vidare.
En intressant aspekt på detta är att man inte beskattar de aktuella nätföretagen där de har sin hemvist – utan utifrån lokal försäljning. Vilket kommer att ha betydelse för alla nya, expanderande nätplattformar.
France won’t wait on the rest of the European Union to start taxing big tech. French finance minister Bruno Le Maire says the country will move ahead with a new tax on Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon starting Jan. 1, 2019. The tax is expected to raise $570 million in 2019. France and Germany had originally pushed for an EU-wide 3% tax on big tech firms’ online revenues, in part to prevent companies like Apple from sheltering their profits in countries with the lowest tax rates. The deal, which required the support of all 28 EU states, appeared to crumble earlier this month, with opposition from countries including Ireland, home to the European headquarters of Google and Apple
