German Finance Minister Says OECD Digital Tax Deal Likely By Summer

If they fail to do so, some states may move to impose their own taxes. The OECD failed to reach an agreement last summer after the Trump administration pulled out of negotiations. The Biden administration, however, has signaled it is game to rejoin the talks.
