The differentiation of advertising income is also supported by an analysis of the beneficiaries of network effects, by a survey of the financial statements of the biggest digital service companies and by practical examples that challenge arguments brought forward by the OECD and European Union for taxing digital business profits in market jurisdictions.","PeriodicalId":517680,"journal":{"name":"International Transfer Pricing Journal","volume":"6 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141205031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
