Finance ministers of the Group of Seven agreed last week on a tax deal so that some of the profits of large companies with profit margins of more than 10 per cent can be redistributed to other countries to be taxed. Amazon.Com Inc estimates global operating margins at about 7.1 per cent this year. But Amazon.Com Inc will be included and details of how to design policies to incorporate the company are still being discussed, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Negotiators are studying how to set up the mechanism, people familiar with the matter said. This could include setting a threshold for individual businesses such as Amazon.Com Inc's higher-margin cloud computing, rather than the company as a whole, whose margins are weighed down by heavy investment and meagre retail margins.
