The 10 European Union countries pushing for a new tax on financial transactions have pushed back a September deadline for a verdict on the plan, according to a European official with knowledge of the talks.
Austrian Finance Minister Hans Joerg Schelling, who’s leading the discussions, presented a compromise proposal in June, and said a “final decision” would have to be made in September when task forces report back on two “technical issues” that remain to be resolved.
