據 BBC News 報導，G7 成員國日前簽署了一項新協議，針對跨國企業的稅收策略進行了重大調整，未來預期會對 Apple、Google、Amazon 等科技巨頭造成不小的影響。根據協議內容，各國可對利潤率超過 10% 的企業徵收 20% 或更多的所得稅，同時為解決「避稅天堂」問題，新協議還設定了 15% 的企業稅下限。

按照美國財政部長 Janet Yellen 的說法，隨著新稅收策略的推行，原本存在於英國、法國等國家的數位服務稅將被取消。Amazon 和 Google 已對新協議表示了支持，其中 Amazon 更直言此舉會為國際稅收帶來「穩定」。

至於我們什麼時候能看到具體的變化，目前尚且不太好說。七月的 G20 會議將針對新協議進行新一輪的討論，屆時中國、俄羅斯等國家是否會支持還是個未知數呢。就算通過的話，許多國家修改稅法還要花很長的時間，所以說現在 G7 達成共識只能算邁出了改變的第一步吧。
