据外媒报道,奥地利总理受访时表示,咖啡连锁店星巴克与网路零售商亚马逊等跨国企业,向奥地利缴的税比奥地利小香肠摊还少,却从奥地利赚取巨额财富。
据报道,社会民主党(Social Democrats)领袖、中间派联合政府总理克恩还批评网络巨头谷歌(Google)与脸书(Facebook),表示如果他们支付更多税金,平面媒体的税收补贴将增加。
克恩以象征奥地利首都食物文化的例子为例表示,奥地利的每个维也纳咖啡摊与香肠摊,缴纳的税金都比跨国公司多。

Multinationals like coffee chain Starbucks (SBUX.O) and online retailer Amazon (AMZN.O) pay less tax in Austria than one of the country's tiny sausage stands, the republic's center-left chancellor lamented in an interview published on Friday.
Chancellor Christian Kern, head of the Social Democrats and of the centrist coalition government, also criticized internet giants Google (GOOGL.O) and Facebook (FB.O), saying that if they paid more tax subsidies for print media could increase.
