Socialism is back.
Why not on American oil?
Oh, right
This needs to be EU-wide tax, not just Germany.
Go, do it!
I would gladly pay it if it helps to get the EU market more competitive in regards to online services, social networks, cloud computing and so on.
how about taxing the citizens lesser? idiots
Was about time.
Good, they definitely need to be taxed. No loopholes like they do in their home base.
Could it be connected to Trump’s tariffs? Big Tech oligarchs are among his main supporters, so this increases pressure on Washington
Why not 15 years ago?
Hope it’s not like the German packaging tax where they make every seller in the world who has just one buyer from Germany register to a German company to ‘dispose of their packaging’ for at least 39 Euros. That one is an absolute scam that targets poor online sellers in developing countries.
Come to think of it, Trump could learn a few things from the Germans on restricting trade.
DO IT
Yay more taxes
This should be at an EU level….
They will immediately pass the tax to advertisers, ie European companies. This only makes sense if the tax is used to fund EU-made and operated competition
Could be good to counter tax evasion but I hope it will not impact small online platforms. This tax could hit the US companies but if applied indiscriminately it could kill EU startups or any struggling companies. They will gladly pay the 10% tax if they can influence the law and make sure any competition cannot emerge from Europe.
one day the european bureaucrat will realize that more taxes never fixes anything
Lots of strangely very angry and emotional posts in a thread about the subject of taxing non EU IT companies…
I fear my government doesnt have the Balls for that
Thursday: Why doesn’t Europe have its own platforms which provide massively popular free services to millions of people?
Friday: We need to tax them more, because they’re “not contributing to society”
Fucking do it
finally
“These will be great taxes. Best taxes ever. No one has such beautiful taxes as we have. Beautiful. Make Europe Great Again!”
That needs to be done, and preferably by everyone. This past year our favorite tech giants accumulated the following net profits:
* Google: $88 Billion
* Apple: $83 Billion
* Amazon: $53 Billion
* Microsoft: $77 Billion
* Meta: $54 Billion
Which is €355 Billion in total that they take away to sit on it. For reference in the same year Germany’s total public budget revenue reached €450 Billion, while expenditure totaled €500 Billion.
