In Britain, the transnational corporations have imposed a "tax Google» 25%
It seems that the slogan «do not be evil» for Google was in the past and, more and more people perceive the company in an entirely different sense, representing with its help even such unpleasant facts as tax evasion.
Head of the British Treasury George Osborne объявил, that from now on large multinational companies operating within the United Kingdom, will be taxed at 25%, which immediately назвали "Tax on Google» (Google tax), although questions for transfer of profits to the state with more loyal tax regime (in Ireland, for example) has to Apple, and Amazon, and Starbucks.
It is likely that the British Treasury does have reason for concern: in 2012 representatives of the Budget Committee expressed surprise at the fact that Amazon, with Britain 15,000 employees and a large number of warehouses, however, using legitimate means, pays taxes in Luxembourg with its more than liberal tax regime. At Starbucks receives no less tricky - European headquarters in Amsterdam, as there are for her tax benefits, and there work 220 people. Whereas in the UK in the state listed 6,500 people, and taxes are paid somehow the place of the head office of the company.
The situation with taxes in Google looks at all curious. So a member of the Conservative Party Charlie Elphick has estimated that in 2011 the search giant has earned 2.5 billion pounds, and has managed to pay taxes only 3.4 million - in other words, about 0.4% of the annual income.
Thus, by introducing "Google-tax" on multinational companies, the British authorities, apparently, really have for this reason. While specific list of defendants in a future list is unknown, and his promise to present to the public on December 10 as well as the specific mechanism of implementation of the tax.
In this regard, it is appropriate to also remember that in 2012, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) urged EU member states to abandon the spending cuts to social services, but instead to tighten the fight against tax evasion and impose their increased rate of the wealthiest citizens.
