Digital Services Tax

The question

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

Answered by Dan Tomlinson

Decisions on tax are a matter for the Chancellor and any changes will be announced at the budget in the usual way.

The Digital Services Tax is an interim solution to widely held concerns with the international corporate tax framework, and the UK remains committed to remove it once a global solution on the reallocation of taxing rights is in place.
