#数字资产市场动态 The tax revenue situation of the EU tech industry in 2024 is shocking. The domestically listed tech companies paid only 3.2 billion euros in corporate income tax for the entire year. During the same period, the EU issued fines totaling 3.8 billion euros to American tech companies — this figure has already surpassed the entire EU tech industry's tax contribution.

Deeper concerns lie in the loss of talent and capital. Once European tech giants like SAP relocate their headquarters to the US, the EU will face a nearly 50% tax gap. Under such circumstances, the fines imposed on US tech companies have effectively become a key tool for the EU to maintain fiscal balance. This passive dependence reflects Europe's awkward position in global competition within the tech industry.

The EU is shooting itself in the foot by penalizing American companies; it's better to support local technology instead...

European technology is really becoming unaffordable to play with, relying on fines for American companies to sustain finances... What kind of logic is this?

Is Europe treating fines as taxes? Laughable. When they can't generate their own revenue, they rely on digging into American tech companies' pockets. This tactic will backfire sooner or later.

The EU is really getting desperate, huh? Using fines as tax revenue is just too extreme.
