France’s discriminatory Digital Services Tax prompts hefty tariff proposal from the USTR

On December 2, 2019, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) issued a Section 301 Investigation Report on France’s Digital Services Tax (DST), concluding that France’s DST discriminates against U.S. companies, is inconsistent with prevailing principles of tax policy, and is unusually burdensome for affected U.S. companies. In response, the USTR proposed up to 100 percent tariff on French products. Members of our International Trade Team explain these developments in our recent client alert.
