I haven’t decided yet where I stand on this, however…
…As I understand it, the intent of the law is to avoid that large companies book billions of revenues in the country, but then use price-transfer schemes to book the profits somewhere else, and not pay any taxes locally.
The net effect of the law on larger internet companies is probably marginal, but I am not sure the law was designed well enough, so as to avoid collateral damage on smaller internet companies

- Xywzel 2y agoThe way Italy is implementing their own law looks kinda like ultimatum for others to implement minimum corporate tax law. As was agreed, but then never done because China and US are arguing details and everyone knows last one to implement theirs is likely a winner economically.
- maeil 2y agoYou can sit around and wait for decades until this might get meaningfully implemented, loopholes get closed and enforcement is strict. Great step by Italy to refuse that and just implement a measure in the meantime. Can always be repealed if indeed things get fixed on a global level.
