EU finance ministers’ failure to ensure fair taxation of tech giants is a disgrace, say S&Ds

Despite an almost unanimous vote in the European Parliament and recurrent calls from more than 700.000 citizens, EU finance ministers failed to adopt the digital services tax (DST) today at their meeting.
Reacting to the lack of a deal, S&D Group leader Udo Bullmann stated:
“It is a serious mistake that European finance ministers have failed to reach an agreement on the DST. The lack of progress on the file is a missed opportunity to ensure tax justice and bring up to €10 billion of much-needed public revenue every year to provide essential public services for all European citizens.
