Washington, D.C. – National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) Vice President for International Tax Policy Anne Gordon today issued a statement condemning Poland and Slovakia’s consideration of new digital services taxes (DSTs):
“The NFTC strongly opposes DSTs. It is troubling that additional EU countries, particularly Poland and Slovakia, are considering moving forward with new DST proposals that disproportionately target U.S. companies. We strongly urge them–and other countries who currently have or are considering DSTs–to abandon these plans.
“These DSTs, if implemented, would harm U.S. companies’ ability to do business in these countries and potentially undermine their economic ties with the United States.”
