Multi-Association Letter on Canada’s Unilateral Digital Services Tax Proposal

The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, AmCham Canada, Canada-America Business Council, Information Technology Industry Council, and the National Foreign Trade Council (NFTC), has addressed an urgent letter to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Chrystia Freeland.

The letter expresses deep concern regarding Canada’s unilateral Digital Services Tax (DST) proposal. This collective of business voices strongly urges the withdrawal of the DST Act proposal to safeguard the certainty and stability essential for businesses operating in Canada and to preserve the robust dynamics of the Canada-U.S. trade relationship.
