据外媒报道,3日欧盟针对美国麦当劳(McDonald's)与卢森堡之间的税务协议展开调查。欧洲工会组织以及英国反贫困组织War on Want发布报告,称麦当劳通过卢森堡的一家子公司故意避税约10亿欧元。
欧盟对麦当劳展开调查,是扩大对亚马逊和苹果公司等疑似避税的大型跨国公司的调查。欧盟委员会和卢森堡财政部均拒绝对此进行评论。
部分原文报道如下:
EU antitrust regulators are likely to launch a formal investigation into McDonald's tax deal with Luxembourg, two people with knowledge of the matter said on Wednesday, widening the bloc's crackdown on corporate tax avoidance.
European Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager could announce the investigation as early as Thursday, the sources said, following on the heels of other recent cases, including deals between Luxembourg and carmaker Fiat and online retailer Amazon.com.
