Canada back tracked cancelled the digital services tax (DST)

[TheButcher]

More taxes are not a good thing and quite simply Canada blinked and it is the right move. You really do not want to start a trade war with the Unite States.
When you are the biggest economy with the biggest military you will get others to play ball with you, Canada has about the same size population as California. Just saying.


"Canada will rescind a tax on big US technology firms, just hours before first payments were due, to allow trade talks between the two countries to restart.

On Friday, US President Donald Trump called off negotiations over a trade deal, describing the tax as a "blatant attack", and threatened higher tariffs on imports from Canada.

In response, Canada has said it will introduce legislation to remove the tax and would halt the collection of payments, which were due on Monday.

White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett told Fox News on Monday that negotiations between the North American neighbours would "absolutely" restart as a result.

The digital services tax (DST) would have meant US tech giants including Amazon, Meta, Google and Apple faced a 3% charge on Canadian revenue above $20m.

Canada's finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, issued a statement saying the tax would be rescinded."

It's not a new idea they have digital services taxes in other countries. If they could they will add a shit tax and tax you on how much you pee and shit every day.
