France to implement digital tax despite US opposition
BUCHAREST, April 5, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – French Finance Minister Bruno Le
Maire said on Friday that France would stick to plans for a tax on digital
giants such as Facebook and Apple, despite displeasure in Washington.
“We are determined to implement a tax on the largest digital companies to
bring more justice and efficiency to the international tax system,” Le Maire
said as he arrived in Bucharest for talks with his eurozone counterparts.
