Digital Services Tax

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of increasing the Digital Services Tax.

Answered by James Murray

While the Government keeps all tax policy under review, we have no plans to raise the rate of the Digital Services Tax (DST).

The UK remains committed to removing the DST once a global solution on the taxation of the digital economy through Pillar 1 of the G20-OECD Inclusive Framework project is in place.
