DST’s are a new class of taxes being implemented to tackle the perceived unfairness of non-resident digital companies to sell across borders without being liable to local corporate income taxes. They are typically a percentage charge of turnover from in-scope activities, with a sales threshold based on in-country and global income.
Most DST’s are suspended until 2025 pending OECD Pillar 1 negotiations.
