- Canada has officially repealed the Digital Services Tax (DST) through the Fiscal Budget Law 2026 (Bill C-15).
- The repeal follows US pressure, as the US argued the DST unfairly targeted mostly US-based tech companies.
- The Canadian government had previously suspended the DST before fully repealing it after talks with the US.
- The Revenue Agency must refund all DST payments and pay interest to affected tech companies.
