Which of the following establishments in the UK is least likely to have to pay the digital services tax?
In what amounts to a shot across the bows for US tech firms, the UK government has announced a new 2% "digital services tax" on their revenue, rather than their profits.
Concerned that many such companies book their profits in lower-taxed countries outside the UK and keen to be seen to be doing something about it, chancellor Philip Hammond suggested that the tax would apply to profitable firms with global revenues of at least 500 million pounds.
"Digital platforms delivering search engines, social media and online marketplaces have changed our lives, our society and our economy, mostly for the better. But they also pose a real challenge for the sustainability and fairness of our tax system; the rules have simply not kept pace with changing business models," he said.
"It is clearly not sustainable or fair that digital platform businesses can generate substantial value in the UK without paying tax here with respect to that business."
As envisaged, the tax would apply to firms such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, Apple and Amazon, as well as the likes of AirBNB and Uber.
Hammond said the levy would not take the form of a sales tax on goods ordered online, as this cost could then be passed on to the consumer. Instead, it will "apply to revenues from those activities that are linked to the participation of UK users". He added that he expects to raise around $512 million per year, with US companies taking up about 50% of the total.
However, the plan is a lot less settled than it might at first appear. The tax isn’t set to come into force until April 2020, with Hammond saying that the government plans to consult on the detail in the meantime.
选项
A、It is hard to set a rule because online business is an unstable model.
B、The flow of capital in these businesses is unfairly unrestricted.
C、It is unfair that they can make profit in Britain and pay tax elsewhere.
D、They are changing rules on tax in the way they are changing our life.
答案
C
解析
特定信息的找寻与判断。原文“It is clearly not sustainable or fair that digital platform businesses can generate substantial value in the UK without paying tax here”是对上文提出的“challenge”的展开论述,上面提到数字化平台对税收制度的可持续性和公平产生挑战,该句对此做了进一步解释。选项C虽不全面,只涉及了不公平一个方面,但相对其余选项,最切题。故本题答案为选项C。着重听取关键词,锁定答题区间。题干中的“challenge”是需要听的重点。
