JERUSALEM: Israel is planning to send tax bills within a year to Internet companies Google and Facebook, financial newspaper TheMarker reported on Nov 15, joining efforts by several countries, including the European Union, to get the Internet giants to pay more tax.
TheMarker cited Moshe Asher, chairman of Israel's Tax Authority, as saying work on preparing tax bills had already begun. The authority is now working on figuring out how to make its calculations.
