Keir Starmer has been warned against “appeasing” Donald Trump as he considers reducing a major tax for US tech companies while cutting disability benefits and public sector jobs.
His chancellor, Rachel Reeves, confirmed on Sunday that there were “ongoing” discussions about the UK’s £1bn-a-year digital services tax that affects companies including Meta and Amazon.
UK here. We should be taxing these bastard’s more not less. Much more.
I agree. He’s going to hit us with tarrifs anyway, so we might as well.
The digital sales tax as it is brings in next to nothing and is set at just 2%. Do what the lib Dems have suggested and triple it. Then in my opinion when we do get hit by tarrifs triple it again from 6% to 18% as part of our retaliation package.
