Canada Scraps Digital Service Tax On U.S. Tech Giants To Revive Trade Talks

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne announced on X that Canada has decided to withdraw its Digital Services Tax (DST) on major tech companies like Alphabet and Meta, in a bid to resume trade negotiations with the Trump administration. This move has been seen as a strategic win for President Trump, as his negotiation tactics seem to be aligning progressive countries with his ‘America First’ agenda once again.

Champagne stated on Sunday that Canada is currently engaged in discussions for a new economic and security partnership with the U.S., and rescinding the DST will facilitate progress in these negotiations and support job creation and economic growth for Canadians.

The DST in Canada was a 3% tax on the revenue generated by large tech firms from Canadian users, particularly from online advertising, marketplaces, and user data. Following Trump’s announcement on Friday terminating trade talks with Canada and threatening new tariffs, Canada made the decision to retract the tax to prevent any further economic harm.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent mentioned that the U.S. Trade Representative will investigate the tax to assess its impact on American companies and the economy. With three-quarters of Canada’s exports going to the U.S., the imposition of tariffs could severely impact the local economy.

UBS analyst Jason Cheng highlighted the significance of Canada’s decision to revoke the DST in order to restart trade discussions with the U.S., resulting in a decline in the USDCAD exchange rate.

Political science professor Daniel Béland viewed Prime Minister Mark Carney’s retreat as a victory for Trump, indicating that the President’s pressure led to the desired outcome for big tech companies. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick expressed gratitude to Canada for eliminating the DST, emphasizing its importance in fostering innovation and facilitating trade deals with America.

Overall, Canada’s move to repeal the DST reflects a strategic approach to resolving trade disputes and fostering mutually beneficial agreements with the U.S.
