first curfew in 70 years the german capital takes steps to topple a sharp rise in corona virus infections. this is the doubling of business i'm craig ferguson thanks for joining me. the organization for economic cooperation and development has unveiled a proposal to impose a global digital tax on big companies like apple is on the group says such attacks could bring in $100000000000.00 a year worldwide the idea of course comes as countries around the world struggle with the economic impact of the punt on the uk but not everyone has been suffering sales on profit that major tech companies have surged both apple and amazon have seen their stock rise over 50 percent so far this year at the same time the e.u. has complained that apple pays less than one percent tax on its european it made profits in the u.s. amazon pay just 1.2 percent tax on its profits last year that's up from 0 the year

before so far $137.00 countries have agreed to a digital tax framework but they can't agree on how to go about it meaning a final decision won't come until next year for more on this i'm joined by dr hakim cos he's head of international cooperation on tax administration at the o.e.c.d. dr foss that morning to you could you tell us in simple terms of how this digital tax would actually work. yes i tried that in simple terms the digital tax is actually 2 parts one part stabilizes the system it basically says look you going to be taxed not just in the place where you have a physical presence because that doesn't make any sense in the digital world you're also going to be taxed or you participate significantly so in a digital age we call determined taxation purely by reference to physical presence and a 2nd part state as there's going to be a global minimum tax so we're going to make sure even to pay in the right place and

we're going to make sure you pay at all and when you put these $2.00 pieces together it's complicated which is why it takes time for the $137.00 countries begin to make sure that all of these people pay a fair amount of tracks and they pay it in the right countries and that's what's changing with digital you can be present in many places where you may not have people and we're going to change that and we also get a change to everybody that makes money at least a minimum level of tech. that all the signs like a really good idea why then is it so difficult to get these 137 countries to agree on high to go about it. absolutely whenever he sees things there's 137 countries that have very very different interest you have developing countries you have developing countries that don't look much like developing countries you have countries that have a big digital industry you have advanced countries so there's a lot of different interests we haven't done this in a 100 years so many things it's hard so you want to get it right you've got to be

fast to political pressure is the system needs to be stabilized so that it will work and it's a question of where does the digital economy go there's no point in covering 3 companies and next year digital moves on it's $100.00 companies and the whole economy's going to juggle so we need to have a response that sustainable today and tomorrow and that takes a little time so we're close everybody agrees we have a base everybody agrees it's a solid foundation we hope to be able to get the deal done in another 6 months but we will need probably another couple of months into 2021 to get it right i don't if you don't want to if there's no agreement on a deal if there is no agreement on the deal of basically the pressure is on the system is such that then countries or regions such as europe will probably act on their own the risk here of course is if you do it on your own or if it's really difficult to do it on that basis you will be taxing probably on a gross basis even if there is no profit so there is a risk overall to economy of the people who go on gross taxation there is

a risk that there will be treat sanctions and there is a risk that there will be escalating trade sanctions so if we want to start out of the crisis into growth i think you much better off to find a global solution that continues to behave tax on net avoids double taxation it's more susceptible for for growth which i guess eventually will need if we're going to get out of the crisis and i think we're going to need some money to pay for all of this with a minimum tax probably fits right there. you know very closely dr often profit i think the interest. is here thank you very much for having. china's latest trade figures suggest the country may be on the road to recovery from the coronavirus imports rose over 13 percent in september compared to the same time last year exports were up almost 10 percent the thinkers indicate that domestic consumption is returning towards demick levels sales of moscow medical equipment and consumer electronics has been especially strong. for more on this let's go to

financial correspondent chelsea delaney in frankfurt good morning to you however the figures from china are likely to go down here in europe. the growth story and china has really been the one bright spot in the global economy recently in china as the only major economy expected to grow in 2020 and part because of how quickly their economy has been able to restart how how many how much they've moved forward in terms of controlling the virus but this obviously is very important for europe for germany for all of china's trading partners and today's data the import growth is really quite notable this means that all of china's trading partners are really benefiting from the growth of and the chinese economy we've seen this also for example in car sales so german exports german car

companies have relieved benefited from surging car sales in china so all of this does really point to china really helping to drive these other economies like those in europe those in the united states there were some want to figures and in this month of exports things like stockpiling ahead of a u.s. ban on. chinese tech companies but it does point to china really helping to drive growth around the world. as ever thanks so much. let's take a look now at some of the other business stories making news. government protests have taken place in buenos aires many are on how the argentine government's handling of the pandemic has compounded problems for an economy that was already in serious trouble before the crisis argentina owes more than 300 $1000000000.00 to its creditors. disney has reorganized its operations in order to put
