UK GOVERNMENT TO HIT FACEBOOK, GOOGLE AND AMAZON WITH DIGITAL SERVICES TAX
The government will soon impose a ‘digital services tax’ on UK revenues generated by “established tech giants” like Facebook, Google and Amazon.
The 2% levy was announced by chancellor Philip Hammond in the Autumn budget on Monday, and will come into force in 2020 following a period of consultation.
The announcement follows on from heavy criticism about the amount of tax tech behemoths pay to the treasury – which in most instances are gleaned from ad revenues – in comparison to their UK profit.
Without going into detail, Hammond said the tax wouldn’t apply to “small UK startups” but instead be targeted at profitable digital services companies that generate “at least £500m a year in global revenue”.
