- Italy and the United States issued a joint statement opposing discriminatory taxes on digital services, signaling a potential shift away from Italy’s current 3% levy on tech giants, which has been a point of contention with the U.S.
- The statement followed Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s meetings with Donald Trump, who expressed a warm reception towards her, contrasting with his treatment of other European leaders.
- While the Italian web tax generates minimal revenue, it remains a contentious issue for Meloni amid U.S. pressure and demands from her coalition to increase taxes on big tech to support Italy’s public finances.
