  1. Explained: What is the UK digital services tax and why has it angered Trump?

    The UK introduced its Digital Services Tax (DST) on 1 April 2020, imposing a 2% levy on revenues from social media platforms, search engines and online marketplaces that derive value from UK users.

    US President Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on the United Kingdom unless it scraps the tax on American tech companies.

  2. Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji z wicepremierem Krzysztofem Gawkowskim rozpoczęło dziś prace nad wprowadzeniem w Polsce podatku cyfrowego (DST).

    Eksperci Instratu: Agata Miazga i Michał Hetmański zaprezentowali wyniki ekspertyzy, która została przygotowana na potrzeby resortu. Rekomendują w niej wprowadzenie podatku ze stawką 3 lub 6% od przychodów z szeroko rozumianych usług cyfrowych.

    Ponieważ UE od lat nie potrafi wypracować porozumienia w tej sprawie, rozwiązanie krajowe to jedyny sposób, by wyrównać szanse między uczciwie płacącymi w Polsce firmami a międzynarodowymi gigantami.

  3. Canadians to Be Refunded After Digital Services Tax Rescinded

    When the Digital Services Tax is officially rescinded, Canadians are reportedly going to get refunds.

    When US President, Donald Trump, said that he was going to implement tariffs on other nations, there was a big subset of Americans that believed Trump when he said that it is o

  5. The #DigitalServicesTax was cancelled the day before the deadline to submit payment. What happens to the companies that paid before the last day?

    "But those who have already paid, it turns out, will have to wait for full parliamentary repeal of the DST legislation before they can get their money back."

  6. ’He also said his concerns have been further bolstered by Carney’s decision to rescind the #DigitalServicesTax that targeted American tech giants, as the prime minister and Trump undertake what he calls “secret” trade negotiations with no parliamentary scrutiny.’

  7. "Given Canada’s close proximity to the United States and the three-year backdating of the tax, it’s been in the industry and the Trump administration’s crosshairs for some time. On Friday, Trump presented the Canadian prime minister with an ultimatum: the digital services tax had to go, or trade talks that Canada hopes will lift some of the tariffs on its economy were dead.

    Despite spending the spring election telling Canadians it was “elbows up” against the United States, Carney folded under the pressure. It didn’t just show cowardice and further suggest his nationalist rhetoric was deceptive posturing; it also demonstrated to Trump that Canada can be pressured to make significant concessions in trade negotiations that Carney is hoping will be concluded by July 21. He previously said there would be an agreement by the time of the G7 meeting in mid-June."

  8. As Mark Carney Admits DST Was Dumb, Mainstream Media Rages At Decision

    Mark Carney made comments suggesting that the DST was a dumb idea all along. This as mainstream media throws a fit over the decision.

  9. "Let’s be clear: We’re subsidizing American tech giants that have been undermining Canada’s economy as much as our sovereignty for many years. (...) Even with retroactive taxation and an estimated $7-billion in new revenue over five years, the #DST was supposed to provide far too little in benefit compared to the economic and social destruction wrought by American tech giants."

  10. "Mr. Carney’s walk-back of the DST compounds his other missteps. Despite all the rhetoric over the past three months", "Mr. Carney has so far failed to deliver. Worse, he has made a series of troubling policy decisions, each with profoundly negative economic consequences, all of which demonstrate appeasement and acquiescence to Mr. Trump."

  12. Mark Carney’s decision to rescind Canada’s digital services tax is a cowardly move that shows Trump he can be pressured into making trade concessions.

    It also shows how much Carney is willing to give into corporate demands, and particular those of the tech industry.

  13. 'The United Kingdom is currently planning to keep its #DigitalServicesTax,'; 'France, which was the first in Europe to implement one 2019, is also standing by its measure'.

  14. Note: France, Italy, Spain, Austria, India, Portugal, Turkey, the UK & more all have their own #DigitalServicesTax in place, with many more proposed & on the way.

    Mark Carney is the only world leader to surrender to Trump on this.

  15. The #DigitalServicesTax would have applied to giant US-based tech companies like Meta, Google, Amazon etc - some of the biggest companies in history, entities that operate in #Canada, profit off Canadians & our data, and pay little or no tax here.

  16. Carney's surrender to Trump & cancellation of our #DigitalServicesTax will cost Canada billions - some $2 billion due this week, $7 billion over five years.

  17. I listened to #TheHouse on #CBCradio Saturday morning. John Manley was on, discussing the #DigitalServicesTax. He said that it was the sort of thing that one might give up in trade negotiations, which sounded reasonable. Even so, I'm rather surprised that the Liberals are giving up on it so quickly, just to get negotiations to resume.
