Digital Services Tax

The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department plans to end the digital services tax.

Answered by James Murray

The Digital Services Tax was introduced as a temporary measure to address international corporate tax issues, until a global solution on the taxation of the digital economy is reached through Pillar 1 of the G20-OECD Inclusive Framework project. It is the UK’s intention to repeal our DST when this international solution is in place.
