The National Post reports in its Friday, Feb. 14, edition that U.S. President Donald Trump signed another executive order on Thursday authorizing reciprocal tariffs and his White House singled out Canada's digital services tax as one such trade irritant. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that the DST targets large companies operating on-line marketplaces, social media platforms and earning revenue from on-line advertising, such as Amazon, Alphabet's Google, Meta's Facebook, Uber and Airbnb. The White House sent out a document calling Canada and France's digital taxes as "unfair" for taxing American companies. The Trudeau government's 3-per-cent tax came into effect over the summer, which requires large tech businesses to pay tax on revenues earned through engaging on-line users in Canada. The controversial policy has stirred the ire of U.S.-based lobby groups, and the Business Council of Canada and Canadian Chamber of Commerce have long warned it would invite retaliation from the President. Mr. Trump's latest executive order says the U.S. will counter against a sweeping range of irritants.
