The Federal Government will shortly release a discussion paper on the taxation of multinational technology companies. Centre Alliance senators Rex Patrick and Stirling Griff have signalled that the proposed "Google tax" may influence how they vote on the government’s corporate tax package. Senator Patrick says the party wants to ensure that digital companies are taxed appropriately, which it believes is not the case at present. Treasurer Scott Morrison flagged a tax crackdown on technology companies in his Budget speech.
