Submission to the public consultation regarding Fair Taxation of the Digital Economy – Digital Levy

The Commission has published an initiative (Inception Impact Assessment) for a Digital Levy. By continuing to draft the EU digital levy legislative proposal, announced to be released at the same time (July 2021) as the OECD model, there is a discrepancy between the spoken words and actions taken by the EC. The EC and EU Member States must show concrete support to the OECD’s work and suspend the drafting of an EU digital levy. A digital levy should not be introduced as it is an additional tax to a global solution. All unilateral DSTs and similar tax measures should be repealed.
