Original title: French Minister of economy: welcome the significant progress made in the negotiations on the reform of the international tax system
On July 1, local time, French Minister of economy, Finance and Revitalization Lemerre welcomed it in a statement after the OECD announced that 130 countries and jurisdictions had agreed on a two-pillar plan for the reform of the international tax system. He said it was a major progress in the relevant negotiations. Lemerre believes that the current agreement represents not only ambition and innovation, but also historic significance and is the most important international tax agreement in the past century.
Lemerre also pointed out that the agreement is supported by important economies such as China, India, Russia and Turkey. Next, at the meeting of G-20 finance ministers in Venice, Italy, on July 9-10, the parties will also seek to reach a political agreement on this. In particular, Lemerre stressed that all digital giants should be included in the category of large multinationals referred to in the agreement, paying taxes without exception, which France has insisted on for the past four years.
