TAX ALERT | DIGITAL SERVICES TAX (DST) INTRODUCED

31 July 2019

Context and objectives

The introduction of the “GAFA” tax was announced by Bruno Le Maire, Minister of The Economy and Finance on 6 December 2018.  

On 24 July 2019, President Macron signed the legislation creating the GAFA tax on digital services, largely inspired by the EU Directive for which no consensus was found.  

The DST should be temporary, while waiting for a long-term and coordinated solution by OECD members. Multilateral negotiations are progressing and an agreement could be reached by 2020.
