§ Mr. RifkindThere was no discussion of this topic at the Council of Ministers meeting on 28 and 29 November, but at the Council of Ministers meeting on 17 and 18 October I urged our partners to make their own representations on this matter.

We have made clear that we are opposed to the application of the unitary method of state taxation on a worldwide reporting basis. It imposes a heavy administrative burden on companies and is a severe disincentive to investment in those states which apply it. It is also contrary to the internationally agreed arm's length method of attributing profits to members of a group of companies.
