Spain proposes a Digital Services Tax to be effective in 2018

Spain released its 2018 Stability Program and Budgetary Plan Update (the 2018 program update) on April 30, which proposes the introduction of a Digital Services Tax (DST) to be effective in 2018 and onwards. Even though no draft of this proposed new tax has been released yet, it will presumably be aligned with the proposal made by the European Union (EU) to tackle challenges of taxing digitalized business.

A Global Tax Alert, attached below, provides additional details.
