EU Proposals on Taxation of the Digital Economy: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Ms Cora O'Brien:
I do not believe we would be in favour of the tax at all because it is arbitrary, and that is just one element of its arbitrary nature. It is an arbitrary tax aimed at just a handful of particular types of companies. We believe the changes should go far beyond that and not be contingent on such specific numbers, facts and figures. It should be a more fundamental review of the principles underlying businesses operating in a digitalised environment.
