NetChoice Commends President Trump and the White House for Addressing French Digital Service Tax

Today, NetChoice commended President Trump and the White House for addressing discriminatory tax proposals coming from Europe.
“France’s Digital Service Tax (DST) is a clear and targeted attempt by Macron to unfairly line French pockets with revenue generated by American innovations,”
said Carl Szabo, VP and General Counsel at NetChoice.
“President Trump has correctly recognized that France’s Digital Service Tax treats American businesses operating in Europe unfairly.”
“France’s DST ignores advertising by newspapers and television by only taxing large online businesses, the vast majority of which are housed in the United States. DST’s discrimination is obviously intentional and patently unfair,”
continued Szabo.
“We commend President Trump for his initiative in protecting America’s businesses and combat this unfair tax on American innovation by a foreign power.”
