## Summary

**Opposing foreign digital services taxes that discriminate against U.S. tech companies.** This resolution would condemn digital services taxes and similar measures that tax the gross revenue of U.S.-based digital providers and press for trade and tax responses to stop discriminatory treatment. - U.S. digital companies: Says DSTs often target a small group of U.S. firms and tax gross revenue instead of profit, creating burdens and risks of double taxation. - Consumers and customers: Notes that gross-revenue taxes can raise costs for customers because they can be applied to revenue unconnected to in-country presence. - U.S. trade and tax agencies: Would back using all appropriate tools, including Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development talks, Section 301 investigations, World Trade Organization disputes, or trade penalties to protect U.S. companies. - International tax rules: Calls on other countries to repeal DSTs and seek an OECD consensus built on no double taxation, evidence-based rules, net taxation over gross taxation, and legal certainty.
