Digital Services Tax
The concept of a Digital Services Tax (DST) is a no longer a new one and equivalent policies are being adopted in more countries across the world every year. For most, this has broadened the scope of their existing VAT, or equivalent indirect tax, but for some businesses this has meant the creation of a whole new indirect tax. In either case, if your business is involved with digital sales of services, we are able to help you to navigate the indirect tax implications including assistance with registering for VAT or the local equivalent in the required countries and with global indirect tax compliance support.
