BRUSSELS: Brussels is considering taxing big US tech companies through a broad levy on large corporations in an effort to raise revenues for the EU while avoiding a backlash from the Trump administration, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday.

The European Commission was working on new ways to capture more income from tech groups such as Apple, Meta and Google without singling them out, the newspaper reported, citing six officials with knowledge of the discussions.

Brussels was considering changes to its "Corporate Resource for Europe" (CORE) proposal that would require all companies operating in the EU with revenue of more than €100 million (US$112.32 million) a year to pay an annual lump-sum tax contribution, the report said.
