Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has considered making the Digital Services Tax a permanent measure.

The Digital Services Tax is an interim solution to widely held concerns with the international corporate tax framework, and the UK remains committed to removing it once a global solution on the reallocation of taxing rights is in place.

As the Chancellor has previously said, we will continue to make sure that businesses pay their fair share of tax, including businesses in the digital sector.
