EU: Irish finance minister warns EU not to go it alone on digital tax (FT)
- Paschal Donohoe, Ireland's finance minister, has warned the EU against giving
up on a global initiative to extract more tax from digital companies as he makes
his pitch to lead the group of eurozone finance ministers. In an interview with
the Financial Times, Mr Donohoe said negotiations between the US and EU at the
Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) - which broke down
last month - were on "pause". He warned Europe against going it alone with a
levy given the risk of stoking international trade tensions.
