OECD 디지털세 “통합접근법(Pillar One)” 에 대한 항의서 제출

한국시민사회는, 디지털세의 과세대상을 소비자대면사업을 대상으로 하는 다국적 IT기업들과 동일한 범주에서 글로벌 공급망을 기반으로 하는 소비재 제조업에 확대 적용하려는 이 통합접근법(안)에 대해, “제조기업들이 갖는 유형자산과 달리 IT기업들의 무형자산이 갖는 비물리적 현존성에 기인한 소득이전 및 세원잠식 능력과는 상당이 다르다”는 취지에서 OECD에 강력한 항의 의사를 표명하는 바, 이에 따라 우리는 <제1핵심의제에 따라 제안됐던 OECD 사무국의 “통합접근법(안)”>에 대한 항의 의견서를 전달한다.

Review of the OECD’s proposed “Unified Approach” under Pillar One

Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice [1]

Republic of Korea
November 12, 2019

1.          Of particular interest to a new digital tax, actual and fair taxation to be required for multinational IT companies (“IT-MNEs”) in a concentration of digital-economic powers with their non-physical presence to fall under the Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS), is the international society so having reached a meeting of our minds on the basic purpose of setting the OECD/G20 BEPS Actions. And we were going to do so. We already knew the global market was more and more integrating between digital economy and international trade, the fact that the early report by OECD (2015) estimated indicating about 4–5% losses of the global corporate income tax revenue, (i.e.), annually 100–240 billion dollar, due to these IT companies, (e.g.), Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, et al. They did. Those lions’ share hadn’t got to be above our suspicion at their tax evasion through transfer pricing. We were supposed to do our fair share, would be fixed to take their unfair share into our taxable income, and now we’re opening the door of possibility to set the new nexus and profit allocation rules into the OECD’s proposed “Unified Approach.”

2.          But, unlike this basic pledge by the international society, then G1 recently gave OECD a bum steer to fizzle it out—outdoor of IT, then now they have been meaning to overturn our agreement out of the blue by inflating its scope outside of IT. It’s wrong with its scope. It’s against our common sense, agreement to set this new rule into the other scopes. In fact, that meant these scopes not only could deal with consumer-facing businesses, but also might include such manufacturing businesses—(e.g.), automotive industry, consumer electronics industry, smartphone industry, semiconductor industry, or even cosmetic industry—(i.e.), over the whole industry based in the global supply chain. It’s wrong in the digital taxability to expand one scope into the other sectors as if this scope would integrate every consumer business provider or manufacturer into the consumer-facing business at all. That scope is so wrong; it’s too widely distorted by someone else. Ho, Uncle Sam! Did you do that? As a matter of fact, unless we’ll exclude these manufacturing businesses from this “Unified Approach,” that shall overturn the multilateral trade system as well as the international tax system on one’s own ways. In this regard, Korean civil society is now seriously concerned about the world war of the digital taxation that can beat both the system and join to pillage others’ tax revenue.

3.          Hence, we the citizens register a strong protest with OECD over the one’s distorted “Unified Approach” to inflating this scope of digital taxation out of the IT business into the other businesses based in the manufacturing supply chain, in the same scope as this large consumer-facing business; on the grounds that tangible assets of the manufacturer’s own are appreciably different from intangible assets of the IT enterpriser’s transferability and erosivities with non-physical presence. So we make a review of the Secretariat Proposal for a “Unified Approach” under Pillar One, as the following comments: *See [CCEJ] Comments by Korean Civil society (En) Rev.2

해외 한인단체, 조지 플로이드 추모와 미국사회에 만연한 인종차별 규탄 편집부 “I can’t breathe” “숨을 쉴 수 없어요” 지난 5월 25일 미국 미네소타 미니애폴리스시에서 20불짜리 위조지폐를 사용했다는 혐의로 경찰에 체포되어 목숨을 잃은 조지 플로이드(46)씨가 백인 경찰에 의해 8분 46초 동안 무릎으로 목을 눌리며 16번이나 뱉았던 말이다. 비무장, 비저항 상태로 경찰에게 희생된 그를 추모하는 시위가 사건이 일어난 미니애폴리스에서 시작되어 뉴욕·시카고·LA·필라델피아 등의 대도시뿐 아니라 중소 도시로도 퍼지고 있다. 미 전역뿐만 아니라 세계 각지에서 ‘Black Lives Matter’ 기치를 걸며 인종차별 반대를 촉구하는 시위들이 이어지고 있는 가운데 인종차별에 대해서 만큼은 남의 일이 아니라는 자각과 연대의 힘을 보여주기위한 세계 한인 개인과 단체들의 성명서가 발표되었다. 그들은 미국 경찰의 폭력성이 직접적인 원인이지만 이 사건의 바탕에는 유색인종을 차별해온 미국사회의 구조적인 문제가 있다고 보고 “소수계 이민자인 미주 한인들도 미국사회의 인종차별로부터 자유롭지 못하며 한인들이 다른 소수계 커뮤니티와 연대하여 불평등에 맞서 싸울 때 이 사회가 한 걸음 더 나아갈 것이고, 우리의 자녀들이 숨 쉴 수 있는 사회가 될 것이라며 반 인종차별 BLM 운동에 동참하여 힘을 더 하고자 한다”고 성명서의 취지와 목적을 밝혔다. 18일까지 미국, 캐나다, 프랑스, 호주, 독일, 일본, 핀랜드 등지에서 총 54개의 해외동포 단체와 352여명의 개인이 연명했다. 미국 인디애나폴리스에서 연명에 참여한 모욱빈 목사는 “미국 사회에 만연한 인종차별과 구조적으로 뿌리깊은 경제적 불평등, 보건의료의 사각지대화, 백인우월주의를 부추기는 트럼프 행정부의 오만함에 미국 사회의 곳곳에서 불만과 좌절이 터져 나오고 있다”며, “이번  George Floyd protests의 주요 주장인 ‘경찰개혁’과 ‘인종차별 반대’의 강력한 주장을 미국의 주류사회는 물론이고 재미동포들도 적극적으로 지지하는 이유는 그동안 경찰 공권력의 노골적인 차별에 대하여  체념해 왔던  동포사회가 이번 Black Lives Matter운동에 적극적인 참여하는 것으로 우리 자신 뿐만 아니라 우리의 자녀들이  당당한 세계시민으로 살아갈 수 있는 기반이 될 것이고 세계 시민 어느 누구도 공권력의 폭력으로 희생당하면 안된다는 시민의식의 결과라고 믿는다”라고 참여의 의미를 남겼다.   우리는 경찰의 폭력에 의해 사망한 조지 플로이드를 추모하며,  미국 사회에 만연한 인종차별을 규탄한다. 지난 5월 25일 미네소타 주 미니애폴리스 시에서 벌어진 플로이드씨 사망사건은 경찰의 폭력성이 직접적인 원인이다. 그러나 이 사건의 바탕에는 유색인종을 차별해온 미국사회의 구조적인 문제가 있다. 1960년대 흑인인권운동을 통해 한걸음씩 나아가던 미국의 인권상황은, 트럼프 행정부가 들어서면서 한 번에 무너져내렸다. 트럼프가 공개적으로 내뱉는 인종차별 발언은 코로나 바이러스처럼 미국사회에 퍼져나갔고, 말은 인종차별 행동으로 이어졌으며, 구조화되기 시작했다. 그러나 트럼프는 미국의 민낯을 내보인 장본인이었을 뿐이다. 이번 사건을 통해 우리는 미국사회 바닥에 만연한 인종차별이 그동안 그저 포장되어 잘 보이지 않게 만들어놓은 것일 뿐임을 확인하였다. “I Can’t Breathe…” 이는 이제 플로이드씨만의 절규가 아니다. 숨 막힐 지경에 이른 미국사회를 향한 미국민들의 ‘저항의 구호’가 됐다. 인종차별과 사회 경제적 불평등, 코로나19 사태 속에 여실히 드러난 의료보건 체계의 마비, 국가재난에 대한 무능한 대응과 사각지대화를 체감하면서 미국민들의 좌절과 분노는 깊어만 가고 있다. 붕괴된 정의를 살리지 않는 한 평화는 없다. 그래서 우리는 외친다. “No Justice, No Peace” 소수계 이민자인 미주 한인들도 미국사회의 인종차별로부터 자유롭지 못하다. 우리가 다른 소수계 커뮤니티와 연대하여 불평등에 맞서 싸울 때 이 사회가 한 걸음 더 나아갈 것이고, 우리의 자녀들이 숨 쉴 수 있는 사회가 될 것이다. 우리는 반 인종차별 BLM 운동에 동참하여 힘을 더 하고자 한다. 미국 내에서 매년 1천 명이 경찰에 의해 죽임을 당하고 있고, ‘세계경찰’을 자처하는 미국의 군사력에 의해 세계도처에서 전쟁이 끊이지 않는다. 그래서 시위대는 “경찰 예산삭감, 군대 예산삭감(Defund the Police, Defund the Military)”을 주장한다. 그렇다. 미국민의 세금인 경찰예산, 군대예산을 삭감하여, 빈부격차 해소, 의료, 복지, 교육, 환경, 평화, 혐오와 차별 방지에 쓰여진다면 이 역시 정의를 살리는 일이 아닌가! 우리는 선언한다. 공권력을 등에 업은 폭력에 맞서, 모든 차별과 혐오에 맞서, 미국 사회를 바꾸기 위한 정의의 연대에 함께 할 것이다. “Black Lives Matter!” 2020년 6월  19일 Korean American Statement of Unity Denouncing the Police ...
