美国拟向24亿美元法国香槟等商品徵收100%的惩罚性关税
美国政府表示,可能对总值24亿美元的法国香槟、手袋、芝士及其他产品徵收高达100%的惩罚性关税,以报复法国针对美国科技公司所徵收的数码税(digital services tax)。
美国贸易代表办公室表示,根据「301条款」调查发现,法国税收与国际税收政策的现行原则不符,并且对受影响的美国公司如Facebook、苹果、亚马逊及谷歌(Google)带来沉重负担。美国贸易代表莱特希泽表示,美国政府亦在研究是否向奥地利、意大利及土耳其的数码税展开类似调查。
他续指,美国贸易代表办公室致力於反击欧盟成员国的贸易保护主义,有关对法国加徵的100%的惩罚性关税暂时未决定生效日期,公众可於1月14日之前对拟议关税清单提出意见,并将於1月7日举行公开听证会。
