In recent news, Canada has made a significant decision to scrap a digital services tax that specifically targeted US technology companies. This move comes as a gesture to smoothen trade negotiations with the United States, following President Donald Trump’s strong opposition to the levy, which he deemed as a “direct and blatant” attack.

The 3 per cent digital services tax was set to come into effect on June 30, but was ultimately abandoned just hours before its implementation. Canada’s finance minister, François-Philippe Champagne, stated that rescinding the tax will pave the way for crucial progress in negotiations for a new economic and security relationship with the US, ultimately aiming to create jobs and prosperity for Canadians.

Prime Minister Mark Carney emphasized that this decision to cut the tax will support efforts to resume negotiations towards the timeline set for striking a trade deal on July 21, as agreed upon during the G7 leaders’ summit in Kananaskis. Both Carney and Trump have expressed their commitment to resuming negotiations with the goal of reaching a mutually beneficial agreement.

Trump’s strong stance against the digital services tax led to the termination of trade talks with Canada, sparking renewed tensions in the North American trade landscape. The tax, which was estimated to increase federal government revenues by C$7.2 billion over five years, targeted major technology companies such as Meta, Netflix, and Amazon, as well as local businesses.

While the tax was a point of contention for Trump, it also faced criticism from Canadian business groups. Goldy Hyder, president of the Business Council of Canada, expressed concerns about the potential negative impact of the unilateral tax on Canada’s economic relationship with the US, highlighting the importance of maintaining strong trade ties.
