SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: [Docket No. USTR–2019–0009] I. The Digital Services Tax Initiation of a Section 301 Investigation of France’s Digital Services Tax On March 6, 2019, the Government of France released a proposal for a 3% levy on revenues that certain companies generate from providing certain digital services to, or aimed at, French users (the Digital Services Tax, or the DST). On June 26, a joint committee of the two houses of the French Parliament agreed to a joint committee DST bill. On July 4, the French National Assembly passed the DST bill. The French Senate is expected to take up the bill on July 11. Under the joint committee bill, the DST applies to revenues generated from certain ‘‘digital interface’’ services (e.g., e-marketplaces for goods and services) and certain internet advertising services. Certain services that would otherwise be covered are excluded, including digital interfaces for the delivery of ‘‘digital content.’’ The tax applies only to companies with annual revenues from the covered services of at least Ö750 million globally and Ö25 million in France. The DST applies to gross revenues from providing the covered services to, or aimed at, French individuals, not to income. Many of the companies likely to be covered are not domiciled in France and have no permanent establishment there. Under current international tax rules, these companies do not pay—or expect to pay—taxes to France on the revenue they earn by providing services to, or aimed at, French individuals. The tax applies retroactively beginning January 1, 2019. Available evidence, including statements by French officials, suggest that France expects the tax to target certain large, U.S.-based tech companies. Office of the United States Trade Representative.
