发帖数: 61690 | 1 The European Union will order Amazon to pay several hundred million euros in
back taxes on Wednesday, The Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The EU’s enforcement arm, the European Commission, opened up an
investigation three years ago into a partnership between Amazon and
Luxembourg that allowed the e-commerce giant to shield some of its assets
from taxation.
The Financial Times report did not say how much Amazon will be ordered to
pay.
The fine would be the latest action Europe has taken to try to rein in
American tech giants.
In a similar move last year, the EU ordered Apple to pay 13 billion euros in
back taxes. The company allegedly benefited improperly from tax laws in
Ireland.
And in June, Google was hit with a record 2.4 billion euro antitrust fine
for promoting its own comparison shopping service in its search results.
Amazon did not immediately respond when asked for comment. |
