Canada Halts Collection Of Digital Services Tax In Effort To Resume Trade Talks With Trump’s Team


Prime Minister Mark Carney said that they would seek to rescind the tax

Canada has halted its planned collection of a new digital services tax after President Donald Trump said that he would end negotiations on a new trade deal because of the levy, which would affect Google, Meta, Amazon and other large tech firms. “Today’s announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set out at this month’s G7 Leaders’ Summit in Kananaskis,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a statement on Sunday evening. François-Philippe Champagne, minister of finance and national revenue, said, “Rescinding the digital services tax will allow the negotiations of a new economic and security relationship with the United States to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians.”
