Washington D.C. – National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC) Vice President for International Tax Policy Anne Gordon today issued a statement following the introduction of legislation in Canada to repeal its digital services tax (DST).
“We welcome the news that Canada is taking the necessary steps to fulfill its commitment from earlier this year by formally introducing legislation to repeal its DST – a move that will hopefully bring both countries closer as they continue their engagements across a number of multilateral and bilateral forums, including the first USMCA review.
“The Trump Administration and Congress have made it clear that they will not tolerate discrimination against American companies. We encourage countries that currently have or are considering these unprincipled measures to follow Canada’s lead.”
