Italy Follows France On Digital Service Tax

Italy and France have introduced digital service taxes targeting tech companies. Italy's 3% tax applies to digital revenues over $831 million, including $6 million generated locally, effective January 1st. France's similar tax targets firms with over $850 million in revenue, generating at least $27 million in France, and applies retroactively. These measures aim to ensure tech companies pay taxes based on digital activity rather than headquarters location, reflecting a broader international effort to increase tax contributions from US tech firms in countries where they operate.
