Robyn Walker: Deloitte tax partner on the potential Digital Services Tax

Published: Sept. 5, 2023, 8:11 p.m.

Officials are warning that the Government risks trade retaliation from other countries if it forges ahead with a Digital Services Tax.\xa0

The tax would target offshore tech companies whose arrangements often mean they pay little tax in jurisdictions like ours.\xa0

The Government is part of an OECD process to create a global framework but has reserved the right to implement the tax if these efforts fall through.\xa0

Deloitte tax partner Robyn Walker told Mike Hosking it's an unusual position to take.\xa0

She says it's a little odd we've decided to step aside slightly from a process that 138 counties committed to following just in July.\xa0
