Senators wary about the effectiveness of the tax Gafa

It is with great caution that the Senate has addressed, Tuesday, the draft law introducing the tax on digital, better known under the name of "tax Gafa" and scope by the minister of Economy, Bruno Le Maire.

Namely, taxing the thirty companies that make more than 750 million euros of turnover in the world, including 25 million in the Hexagon, and which escape the tax on companies in France.
