You know taxes are always based on percentages, right?
Doubt it, System11
This tax looks like a tariff on digital service, or something like that.
That sounds amazing
On digital service export.
A tariff on digital services
So like outsourcing?
Labor or product?
Yes
The day will come when taxation becomes an untenable concept
Not today
That's for sure
Not anytime soon either
Nicest solution would be to force digital service companies to open companies in the countries they operate in and ensure all revenue from that country is passed through and taxed via that company
Because the Google HQ is in the US, the taxes go to the US government.
As we have tariffs in imported goods, i guess they are putting some kind of taxation on foregin digital service.
Right, but on what
side note: i'd like to see epic taxes on offshored labour
Let's get this internet bill of rights underway already
Like ordering twitch prime?
But tbh, i'd prefer they were regulated first as a matter of priority
Service is service, a government will get your money.
offshored, not outsourced
That's not an answer...
On products, Twitch Prime is a product.
Got it
Sounds reasonable
Everything is a products.
As long as it doesnt result in any sort of "double tax"
I'm sure Trump will put some tariff on the French.
I am almost certain that he will...
Double tax is your problem, Coolitic
?
It's up to the USA not to double-tax digital service companies based in the USA
Meaning, the US and the French dont tax the same sale
Cuz that'd be silly and baseless
And stuff is double taxed all the time
By the USA as well as other countries
Meaning silicon valley should be lit on fire metaphorically by being taxed way more than what french people initiated at
Talk about ungrateful and spiteful, lol
I really dislike SV, personally
