Winston Peters: NZ First leader calls for overseas tech giants to pay more taxes
Published 15 hours ago
Description
NZ First leader Winston Peters wants overseas tech giants to pay more tax - as Government agencies send millions offshore.
Stuff reports public service departments spent $18 million dollars on advertising with offshore tech companies last year, mainly Google and Meta.
Peters says the Government needs to revisit the idea of hitting major tech firms with targeted taxes.
"Other countries are looking at the heart of this as well, including the European Union, including countries like France, we should be part of the process and trying to get ourselves on board, even when we can apply it."
