Read moreMeta Strongly Denies Allegations of Owing Italy €1.03 Billion in Tax Payments
意大利税务局正在探索对社交媒体平台的免费账户实施增值税的可行性。今年3月，官方声称意大利政府应获得以下数额的资金：
- Meta平台需支付8.876亿欧元（约合10.3亿美元）。
- X平台需支付1250万欧元（约合1460万美元）。
- 微软旗下LinkedIn平台需支付约1.4亿欧元（约合1.641亿美元）。
据报道，在7月中旬税务评估通知回复截止日期过后，Meta、X和LinkedIn迅速向初审税务法院提交了申诉材料。根据路透社获取的声明，Meta明确反对“要求对在线平台访问权征收增值税”的主张。
这一案件体现了美国科技企业与欧洲监管机构之间日益加剧的合规压力，尤其在美国市场正经历监管放松的背景下。
欧盟层面的咨询程序即将启动
意大利税务部门计划于2026年春季启动与欧盟增值税咨询委员会的磋商程序。该委员会作为独立的欧盟咨询机构，将就相关税收政策提供指导意见。
若磋商未能达成共识，案件可能进入司法程序。按照欧盟法律体系，完整审判流程可能需要长达十年才能完成。这将是意大利首次就科技企业的税务争议发起全面司法程序，此前类似案例多通过庭外和解解决。
潜在的欧盟范围影响
鉴于增值税在欧盟范围内实行统一制度，专家指出意大利的征税尝试可能引发连锁反应。意大利税务部门的核心论点是：免费账户实质上是通过用户数据交换获得的服务。这一解释框架可能重塑整个欧盟的税收原则。例如，若企业通过分析用户Cookie数据提供免费服务，无论其具体商业模式如何，均可能被纳入征税范围。
目前欧盟正在推进人工智能监管框架以应对高级AI模型风险。值得注意的是，这些监管措施将影响预计在特朗普政府期间扩张的美国大型科技企业。与此同时，欧盟已承诺至少投入100亿欧元建立Scaleup Europe基金，重点支持高增长科技企业。
