Canada rescinds digital services tax to advance broader trade negotiations with the United States - Canada.ca
www.canada.ca
The DST was announced in 2020 to address the fact that many large technology companies operating in Canada may not otherwise pay tax on revenues generated from Canadians. Canada’s preference has always been a multilateral agreement related to digital services taxation. While Canada was working with international partners, including the United States, on a multilateral agreement that would replace national digital services taxes, the DST was enacted to address the aforementioned taxation gap.

        I was thinking about that this morning in regards to Ukraine to be honest. We in the US NEVER do something because it’s the right thing to do, we do it for business interests. Trump made that more clear with his demands for a minerals deal in writing for continued military assistance in the war against Russia. Any other administration would “know” continued access to those minerals was implied with Ukraine retaining its independence.

      This is the second reference to elbows I’ve seen related to this topic, and I really don’t understand. Would you mind providing context?
