France's Le Maire urges global deal on tech tax after "very good" proposals

France's Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said proposals unveiled on Wednesday by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) for a global overhaul of digital taxation were "very good" and urged the body's members to reach a deal early next year.

"The key question now is to find a consensus and a compromise among all members of the OECD by the beginning of 2020," Le Maire told reporters at a meeting of eurozone finance ministers in Luxembourg.

The European Union has repeatedly said that it would try to move along with an EU-wide web tax if no deal is struck next year at the OECD, a global club of mostly rich countries.
