France ready to hear U.S. proposal on digital tax

Reuters
French Finance and Economy Minister Bruno Le Maire speaks during the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Riyadh

RIYADH (Reuters) - France is ready to listen to the U.S. administration's proposal of offering U.S. companies a "safe harbour" from a new, international digital tax, its finance minister said on Saturday, while admitting that he still didn't know what that meant in practice.

"I'm not in a position to tell you what it (a safe harbour) really means," Le Maire told journalists on the sidelines of a G20 summit in Saudi Arabia. "(But) it's fair and useful to give all the attention to this new proposal."
