McDonald's faces European tax probe

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The European Commission is investigating tax deals struck between McDonald's and the state of Luxembourg. The Commission suspects those deals allowed the world's biggest fast food company to escape paying taxes in both Luxembourg and the United States. McDonald's is just the latest multi-national to face scrutiny over its tax affairs in Europe. We spoke to EU competition commissioner, Margrethe Vestager, about why she has launched this latest probe. (Picture: McDonald's logo in Paris; Picture Credit: Getty Images.)
