EDITORIAL: Elbows down on the Digital Services Tax

Create Account Carney's about-face made Canada look weak and we obtained nothing in return other than a resumption of the talks. That sent a message to Trump that his brinkmanship tactics work. A tactic he could use again when it comes to the bigger issue of Canada's supply management system for dairy, poultry and eggs, which the U.S. president has targeted for years. That said, implementing the DST would have been worse, permanently derailing the chance of a negotiated settlement with the White House on trade and security. This is over a tax on U.S. tech giants passed a year ago by the Justin Trudeau Liberals — unpopular with U.S. and Canadian business organizations — which would have cost Canadian taxpayers an estimated $7.2 billion over five years, as the tech giants passed along their increased costs to us. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Carney made the best of a bad situation inherited from the Trudeau government, even if it did mean another example of how, despite his 'elbows up' election rhetoric, his negotiation tactics with Trump have been mostly 'elbows down.' To be fair, that's not surprising, given that the U.S. economy is 10 times larger than our own. It underscores the reality that if and when a deal between Canada and the U.S. is signed — before or after the self-imposed July 21 deadline agreed to by both countries — some of its provisions will be damaging to our economy. That makes it even more important that our federal and provincial governments focus on issues they can control. This includes the elimination of inter-provincial trade barriers, which involves a lot more than rescinding federal barriers to cross-Canada trade, which Parliament has now approved, given that many restrictions by the provinces remain in place. It means green-lighting new oil and natural gas pipelines to get our vast oil and natural gas resources to tidewater, mining for valuable minerals in Canada's Ring of Fire to reduce our dependence on China for them, along with other 'nation-building' projects.

Article content After years of zealously defending the contentious tax, which would require tech giants to pay a tax on revenues generated from Canadian consumers, the Mark Carney Liberals did an embarrassing about-face on the policy late Sunday night — announcing the Trudeau-era legislation would be repealed. U.S. President Donald Trump walked away from trade talks last week over the DST, describing it as 'egregious' and a 'direct and blatant attack' on the U.S. Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne's decision to yank the bill came after a weekend of cryptic and unhelpful comments from the PMO, claiming Canada would 'engage in these complex negotiations with the United States,' despite the fact the negotiations had been put on hold.

'I was pretty surprised, I'll admit,' he said. 'On the one hand, I'm not at all surprised the government ultimately backed down on the DST — that, to me, felt inevitable — but to do so late on a Sunday night, I admit, I did a couple of double-checks to make sure this really was the Twitter feed of the finance minister.' The tax, enacted a year ago via an order-in-council, was part of the Trudeau Liberal's election platform since at least 2019. The law required non-Canadian digital services with annual incomes over $1.1 billion to pay a 3% levy on all revenues from Canadian users exceeding $20 million.

Article content Monday was supposed to be the first due date for companies to pay up — a retroactive payment for revenues collected since 2022, potentially representing a $2-billion boost for government coffers. Canada's insistence on a digital services tax, Geist said, wasn't based on levelling the playing field for Canadian tech companies. 'I don't think it's anything more than there's a lot of money at stake,' he said. 'In many ways it is far larger than some of the other policy-focused attempts to extract money from tech companies, whether that was on streaming, on news —we're talking about hundreds of millions, potentially, rather than billions.' Past attempts by the previous Liberal government to regulate the internet, the Online News Act for example, resulted in Canadians no longer able to post or access news stories on Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram. 'It was a lot of money, and in this case, it was a lot of money going to general revenues,' Geist said. 'As they tried to balance the books, or at least try to find a way to pay for various programs, the prospect of this revenue was very attractive.' bpassifiume@ X: @bryanpassifiume Read More Carney Liberals urged to ditch DST as Trump terminates trade talks with Canada U.S. opposition to digital services tax long predates Trump administration tap here to see other videos from our team.

Economic Watch: U.S. ramps up trade pressure on multiple fronts as 90-day tariff deadline approaches
The United States is scrambling to wind up trade talks with a large number of trading partners as the self-imposed deadline of July 9 is approaching. Following Canada's concession, Trump is continuing his efforts to press multiple trade partners. BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Days after U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to halt trade talks and impose tariffs, Canada scrapped its planned digital services tax on Sunday. The White House praised the move, saying talks would resume immediately and declaring that Canada had "caved" to the United States. The United States is scrambling to wind up trade talks with a large number of trading partners as the self-imposed deadline of July 9 is approaching. Following Canada's concession, Trump is continuing his efforts to press multiple trade partners. While the EU stood firm on protecting its digital sovereignty and rejected U.S. demands to include digital laws in trade talks, Trump moved on to Japan on Sunday, accusing it of refusing to buy American rice amid a shortage and threatening a formal trade complaint shortly after labeling U.S.-Japan trade "unfair." U-TURN ON TALKS Canadian Finance Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne announced Sunday that Canada will rescind its digital services tax as it prepares for a broader trade agreement with the United States. The tax, which was designed to take effect on Monday, would impose a 3 percent levy on the revenue of U.S. multinational companies like Amazon, Google and Meta earned from Canadian users. "It's very simple: Canadian Prime Minister (Mark) Carney and Canada caved to President Trump and the United States of America," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Monday at a briefing. Leavitt's comments followed remarks by National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, who said the United States will restart trade negotiations with Canada immediately. According to him, the White House is likely to push other countries to abandon their digital services taxes in future trade negotiations, building on Canada's recent reversal. "My expectation is that the digital services taxes around the world will be taken off, and that that will be a key part of the ... ongoing trade negotiations that we have," Hassett was quoted by CNBC as saying. Hassett suggested that countries planning to maintain or introduce digital services taxes could face the "wrath" from U.S. Trade Representative Jameson Greer over what he called "unfair trade practices." INEFFECTIVE STRATEGY Washington's pressure tactics didn't prove effective with the EU, where officials have firmly rejected including digital legislation in trade talks with the United States. "Our legislation will not be changed. The Digital Markets Act (DMA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA) are not on the table in the trade negotiations with the U.S.," European Commission spokesperson Thomas Regnier told a briefing Monday. Washington has repeatedly slammed the EU's digital regulations, including the DMA and DSA, as unfair and called for looser oversight of American tech firms. In February, the White House warned it might retaliate if EU regulators targeted U.S. companies under those rules. Regnier emphasized that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has made it clear that EU legislation is not up for negotiation, "and this also includes, of course, our digital legislation," he said. "We're not going to adjust the implementation of our legislation based on the actions of third countries. If we started to do that, then we would have to do it with numerous third countries," Regnier added. Nevertheless, the spokesperson said that the Commission remains committed to reaching a trade deal with the United States by July 9. Trump had earlier said the talks were "going nowhere" and threatened a 50 percent tariff on all EU imports starting June 1. After a call with von der Leyen, he agreed to postpone the hike until July 9. European Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maros Sefcovic said on Monday that he would travel to Washington on Tuesday to try to avoid higher U.S. tariffs and reach a deal "fair for both sides." Currently, the EU faces 50 percent U.S. tariffs on steel, aluminum and 25 percent on automobiles, alongside 10 percent baseline duties on most other exports. NEXT ON LIST In a Truth Social post on Monday afternoon, Trump claimed that the Japanese people and their government were "spoiled" because they wouldn't buy American rice. "To show people how spoiled Countries have become with respect to the United States of America, and I have great respect for Japan, they won't take our RICE, and yet they have a massive rice shortage," Trump wrote. "In other words, we'll just be sending them a letter." Yet rice, like the EU's digital regulations, is not on the Japanese menu for trade talks with the United States. On Tuesday, Japanese Economic Revitalization Minister Ryosei Akazawa, who is also the chief representative in tariff negotiations with the U.S. administration, said that his country will not sacrifice the agricultural sector as part of its tariff talks with the United States, adding that he would continue to negotiate with his U.S. counterparts to protect Japan's national interests. "I have repeatedly stated that agriculture is the foundation of the nation," he told a press conference. Trump's rice complaint followed another swipe at Tokyo's trade practices. In an interview aired on Fox News a day earlier, he slammed Japan for importing too few American cars, saying, "They won't take our cars, and yet we take millions and millions of their cars into the United States. It's not fair," he said. "I could send one (letter) to Japan: 'Dear Mr. Japan, here's the story. You're going to pay a 25 percent tariff on your cars,'" Trump said during the interview.
