Digital Tax

OECD: 'Hold your horses' on digital taxation

Secretary general says issue one for collective, global action – not unilateralism, even if by the European Union

Ángel Gurría, secretary general at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), has told Euractiv that action on the taxation of digital companies should be taken collectively and internationally, as opposed to particular countries or regions, such as the European Union (EU).

The OECD is due to release a report in April on how it thinks digital companies such as Google and Amazon should be taxed.
