The G-20 summit
The topic of taxation in a global economy has become a key political issue as multinational firms such as Apple and Starbucks face scrutiny about their low tax bills from the countries in which they make most of their money. Investigative reports into the use of offshore tax havens by the world’s wealthiest individuals have added weight to the view that governments are missing out on much needed revenue.
As business increasingly moves online and international, the cash-strapped governments approved an aggressive timeline to adopt the automatic sharing of tax information. The deal was solidified after China, the last holdout, agreed to the plan just days before the summit in St. Petersburg.
“We are committed to automatic exchange of information as the new global standard,” said the G20 final communiqué. Member countries will work out the details of the plan throughout 2014 with the goal of having the system in place by the end of 2015
La cumbre del G-20
El tema de la tributacion en una economía global se ha convertido en un debate politico essencial mientras que companias multinacionales tales como Apple y Starbucks hacen frente a un escrutinio sobre su baja imposicion en los países en los cuales hacen la mayor parte de sus beneficios. Los informes de investigacion en el uso de los paraisos fiscales por las personas más ricas del mundo han dado mayor peso a la opinion que los gobiernos estan perdiendo importantes ingresos que necesitan.
Mientras los negocios siguen aumentando en línea y se internacionalizan, los gobiernos en difficultad financieras aprobaron un programa agresivo para adoptar el intercambio automático de la información tributaria. El racuerdo fue ratificado después que China, ultimo en aceptar, se unio al plan unos días antes de la cumbre en St. Petersburgo.
“Nos comprometemos al intercambio de información automático como el nuevo estándar global,” dijo el comunicado oficial final del G20. Los países miembros resolverán los detalles del plan en el 2014 con la meta del tener el sistema operacional para el final de 2015
