Companies like Apple or Google invoiced sales from Ireland to exploit the gaps left by the tax regulations and pay less taxes. The company founded by Steve Jobs just announced that taxed less than 2% of their profits overseas. Google pays little 3%. Facebook, Starbucks, Amazon or Microsoft also used tax havens or low tax areas of fiscal engineering maneuvers to just pay taxes. In many European countries this phenomenon is concerned. The main developed and emerging countries have agreed to try to prevent abuses of multinationals to avoid taxes. The issue was raised at the meeting of Ministers of Economy and Finance held in Mexico City on Monday.
The issue of tax abuses by multinationals and was added to the agenda of the G-20 leaders summit in June. But now some countries have spoken out about it and the final communiqué includes a clear mandate to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to submit a report thereon to the next meeting of the G-20, to be held in February 2013 under the chairmanship of Russia.
At the meeting of G-20 in Mexico have been the finance ministers of Britain, George Osborne, and Germany, Wolfgang Schäuble, who has put the issue on the table. Both agreed on its position in a meeting in Berlin last week and Monday in Mexico have brought his case to the other ministers of major developed and emerging countries that are part of the G-20. To further emphasize its stance, London and Berlin have released a joint statement: "The UK and Germany want to have competitive tax systems to attract global companies to our countries, but also global companies want to pay those taxes," says the statement, which makes clear that both raised the issue at the plenary of the G-20.
Multinationals, they argue, are a source of growth, investment and employment in both countries and in the EU as a whole. "However, international tax rules have struggled to keep up with the changes in global business practices, such as the development of electronic commerce in business. As a result, some multinational companies are able to shift the taxation of their profits outside the jurisdictions in which they are generated, thus minimizing their tax payments compared to smaller firms, less international, "reported.
"We want global companies pay", London and Berlin argue
So far, France has been the country that has been showing more aggressive with tax engineering practices of multinationals and raised in proceedings at Google claiming to 1,000 million euros in taxes, according to the French press has revealed.
The OECD is already analyzing the problem in a project called BEPS (Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, ie erosion of the tax base and transfer of benefits). Now, has the task of G-20 to submit its first report with findings in February. Background reflection is being used figures created to avoid double taxation (which the same benefits taxed in two different countries) to reach a zero taxation as a result of aggressive tax strategies of some companies and facilities that will give some governments. In European multinationals mainly used the laws of Ireland, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to create structures to save tax.
The organization led by Ángel Gurría G20 propose to tax harmonization measures to curb such practices. The problem is that these measures have to be applied in general to be effective.
