- Cancellation of the DST: Canada has officially dropped its proposed 3% Digital Services Tax targeting large tech companies, which aimed to impose levies on revenues from various digital services, including online advertising and streaming.
- Reasons for Repeal: The decision was influenced by international pressure, particularly from the U.S., the OECD’s push for a global minimum tax, and a desire to foster a more investment-friendly environment as businesses recover from economic downturns.
- Implications for Businesses: The repeal simplifies compliance for all digital service providers, reduces operational costs, enhances cross-border trade relations, and may lead to price stability for consumers, benefiting both large tech firms and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by lowering advertising costs and promoting growth opportunities.
