Big U.S. technology companies could be those most affected by the OECD's plans but others could also be hit, including pharmaceuticals and branded consumer goods firms, as well as many European companies.

Chris Morgan, Head of Tax Policy at accountants KPMG in London, said the proposals were "balanced" and while some firms would pay more tax, big business accepted the need for change.

Anti-poverty charity ActionAid criticised the plans saying some of the measures envisaged would be too expensive for developing countries to implement.

I reminded them when we were younger all the vehicles leaving smoke behind and now we are annoyed when we smell one now. They thought we should not charge corporate taxes and I ask them if they was willing to pay extra taxes so corporations would not have to pay, corporations are cover by our military, they use the roads to get their products to market, kinda quieted them down. They listen to RW talk shows and FOX but don't get the truth.
