France says U.S. proposal on international tax reform unacceptable

France rejects a U.S. proposal this week that would let companies opt out of a proposed international tax reform, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Friday, urging Washington to negotiate in good faith.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin raised serious questions about OECD international tax reform proposals in a letter made public on Wednesday, jarring international officials by floating the idea of a "safe harbor regime".

Le Maire said that would mean U.S. companies could opt in or out as they pleased, which he said would be unacceptable to France and other OECD countries.

He urged Washington therefore to negotiate on the basis that the new tax rules be binding, and said if the efforts at the OECD fell through EU countries should revive talks for a European digital tax.

IOW, the French idea about what constitutes negotiating in good faith is, the US has to accept non-negotiable demands for whatever they want prior to engaging in fake negotiations.

Let their public sector unions and the Yellow Vests and the yoots burn France to the ground.

The French apparently want to tax all foreigners living abroad.

As well, Democrats don't have to fight in Washington to raise corporate taxes, they can just call Paris and have the French do it for them.

Let the art burn too. Don’t risk one life to save what the Lord will destroy anyway.

Okay...

WTF is “International Tax Reform”? This is the first I heard of it, and if it means signing onto some international tax treaty of some kind, I would be dead set against it, because this sounds like a basis for the Global Warming Alarmists to levy global taxes.

What is this?

Everything is gonna burn before the new heaven and earth. It isn’t hate so much as art does not really matter when all is said and done.

We can’t. They have that Maginot line thingee. :(

Best to just let them do it themselves. They seem to be making great progress.

Little Mac has his hands full with the public workers’ striking over there. This one has supposedly shut down much of France.
