La 'Google tax' du Royaume-Uni laisse circonspect

4 December 2014

Pour Gabriel Zucman, professeur a la London School of Economics et specialiste des paradis fiscaux, la decision britannique de taxer les profits realises au Royaume-Uni va d'ailleurs dans le bon sens. ''Dans le principe, c'est possible. On sait quels sont les profits mondiaux de ces multinationales, on sait quelle portion de leurs ventes ils font au Royaume-Uni, il suffit de dire: on vous taxe a ce niveau'', explique-t-il a l'AFP, jugeant meme un systeme de taxation des profits au niveau national comme etant le plus simple a mettre en place.

Gabriel Zucman, professor at the London School of Economics and a specialist in tax havens, says the British decision to tax the profits made in the UK is in the right direction. ''In principle, it is possible toknow the global profits of these companies, we know what portion of their sales they make in the UK'', he told AFP, ''holding a profits tax system at the national level as the easiest to implement''.
