On June 18, 2021, TEI filed comments with the Canadian Department of Finance regarding the Canadian Government’s proposed tax on digital services (the Proposed DST). TEI provided over a dozen recommendations with respect to the Proposed DST, including altering the scope of the tax, providing for a credit or exemption for companies subject to Canadian corporate income tax, and delaying the effective date. TEI’s comments were submitted under the aegis of its Canadian Commodity Tax Committee, whose Chair is Don Mills of Canopy Growth Corporation. Benjamin R. Shreck, TEI Tax Counsel, coordinated the preparation of TEI’s comments.
