Further to the hearing with multinational corporations held on 21 June 2018 at which McDonald’s and Nike Inc. participated, the TAX3 Committee decided to hold a second hearing on 27 November with the Kering Group, Google and Facebook.

The aim of this hearing is to assess the progress made by these multinationals in the implementation of the Profit-Shifting and Base Erosion (BEPS) project, and to hear their opinions on the EU initiatives on digital taxation which aim at making the digital economy contribute more fairly to national tax systems.
