New e-commerce tools from Amazon, wariness of mobile wallets, and eight other things that happened in technology this past month and how they’ll impact your clients and your firm.

President Trump complains that large corporations, such as Amazon.com, are shirking their tax responsibilities. Yet for at least a decade, Trump paid none or very little in federal income taxes by exploiting some of the same generous tax breaks.

The senator really hates it when corporations that report billions of dollars in profit pay little or no tax to Uncle Sam.

The Democratic presidential candidate rolled out a proposal to levy a 7 percent tax to raise an estimated $1 trillion from the wealthiest businesses.

The European Union’s inability to agree on taxing Internet giants like Google and Amazon shows the need for majority voting at the soon-to-be 27-member bloc, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said.

France intends to tax the revenue of about 30 internet giants such as Amazon.com Inc. to help ensure “fiscal justice,” according to Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire.

The e-commerce giant scrapped a deal this month to open offices in New York after clashing with local politicians and is backing out of another battle.

Ailing shopping districts are losing revenue to e-commerce, according to a government report.
