Interesting times I expect more European countries to levy taxes on them - let's see how trump would feel after he banned Huawei in the US
lol
America has started the process of retaliatory tariff on France.
that was how China started by placing ban on America tech companies but when America retaliated, they started crying to the whole world.

one thing about America is you won't hear them trying to seek public sympathy

Don't be ignorant, facebook, google,twitter doesn't work in China.

Personally I support the tax and it's not mean't to spite trump, it's been on the works for a long time, even cryptocurrencies are been taxed in some countries.

The only issue here is don't cry wolf when US retaliates

Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon.(GAFA)



Nonsense!!!

If every country collects 3% of the profit made by The country’s citizens using their services what will remain?

What amenities did they use is helping google achieve this profit?

Anyway,I blame Donald trump and his Americans first style ,they should live with it.

It's 3% of the profit made in France that France is collecting. So if every country charges 3% at the end GAFA will end up paying just 3% of their global total profits. This is far less than tax charged on companies like telecoms and internet providers which in effect contribute more to the economy by employing the citizens of the country in large numbers.

You’re already paying tax indirectly and directly on items you buy and other related stuffs... the Vat on ur Shoprite receipt and lots more are taxes that the firms are to remit to the government
Re: France Imposes Digital Tax On Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon by Nobody: 7:18am On Jul 12, 2019
Bloggers are crazy. See how they reported the news as if it were the americans company that were affected, imagin, they even coined their own word for it ''GAFA''. Most nairalanders dont read news outside nairaland as such they are surely deceive. Stupid bloggers

Telecom and isp uses the country infrastructure and friendly business policy to thrive not like google

Google and co even makes money for isp and telecom indirectly.

Google will find a way to push the cost to their citizen by making them see more adds or giving them premium services or increasing their advertisements rate.

Google is powerful,60% of all internet traffic passes through google ,people hardly use url directly.

Google can make the President of France unpopular by bidding the good deeds and showing only his unpopular side.

Finally ,How do u even calculate the usage of ur country people on google apps and sites?

Nobody banned them in china, they simply failed to meet the country's terms and conditions e.g locating their chinese data base in china for security reasons.

Nigeria FIRS will do copycat approach now,land every genuine digital hustler in trouble,GAFA tax will be transfer to the user effortlessly. These tools have become part of our lives and social culture.
Nigeria doesn't need tax digital for now,let the government use the ones in there handle well before giving the another mandate to new taxes.
