updates: Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is optimistic about avoiding U.S. retaliation over Canada's implementation of a digital sales tax. Canada recently implemented a three percent levy on companies providing digital services to Canadians, retroactively applied to revenue from 2022. Freeland emphasized that Canada cannot accept being in an inferior position compared to other allies when it comes to taxing American digital giants. She mentioned that the United Kingdom, France, and Italy have already imposed their own digital services taxes without facing trade retaliation. Freeland stated that Canada is engaged in conversations with U.S. counterparts to avoid trade retaliation and achieve a win-win outcome.
