On Friday, March 26, 2021, the United States Trade Representative (USTR) office announced in a press release the Next Steps of Section 301 Digital Service Tax (DST) Investigations<\/a> for Austria, India, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The Section 301 DST investigation had found that the DST adopted by these countries against U.S. digital companies were inconsistent with principles of international taxation, and that they discriminated against and burdened U.S. companies.\u00a0At the same time, the U.S. is terminating its investigation of Brazil, Czech Republic, Indonesia, and the European Union because they had not adopted or implemented the DST under consideration. If any of these jurisdictions proceed\u00a0to adopt or implement a DST, the USTR may initiate a new investigation.<\/p>\n

The U.S. is proposing to impose additional tariffs of up to 25% which would yield an aggregate duty revenue of $880 million. A breakdown of revenue is as follows, and all commodities can be found in the annex to the attached USTR Notices to be placed in the Federal Register:<\/p>\n
