Digital services tax is gaining ground
There is still no uniform regulation, a series of countries have already introduced their own digital services tax. While the thresholds for the occurrence of a tax liability are still relatively high and tax rates relatively low, digital services tax presents challenges for many companies. The tax liability does not affect only digital groups and it is independent of the company's domicile. It therefore makes sense to deal with any effects at an early stage.
Keep track of the digital tax with KPMG
You can identify the relevant sales in the respective countries and monitor the respective applicable thresholds. In this way you have prompt and detailed information on rules and can initiate the required registrations in a timely manner and take account of expected additional costs due to digital services taxation in your price determination.
Details on the taxation of the digitalized economy can be found in KPMG’s flyer KPMG Digital Services Tax Quick Check, in KPMG’s Development Summary, on KPMG’s websites Taxation of the Digitalized Economy and Tax Challenges of Digitization.
