A global economic body has proposed
overhauling the way multinationals - particularly
tech giants - are taxed to make sure they pay
their fair share in countries where they do

for Economic Cooperation and Development,
which advises 134 countries, comes after France
and the United States agreed in August to find a
way to better tax digital businesses by mid-2020.

all sectors, would re-allocate some tax revenue
to countries where big companies like Google,
Facebook, Amazon and Apple “have significant
consumer-facing activities and generate their
profits,” the OECD said.
