Rep. Estes Reacts To Canada’s Removal Of DSTs

WASHINGTON – Rep. Ron Estes (R-Kansas) released a statement following Canada’s announcement to rescind their Digital Services Taxes (DSTs) on the United States yesterday.
 
“Canada’s decision to rescind their egregious Digital Services Taxes is a win for American businesses and workers,” said Rep. Estes. “I’ve consistently called for an end to this discriminatory tax practice, and I’m grateful that under President Trump’s leadership, American tax sovereignty is being protected.”

Background

Rep. Estes has long opposed DSTs, including Canada’s Digital Services Tax Act (DSTA). Most recently, he and his colleagues sent a letter to President Donald Trump urging the removal of Canada’s DST.

In 2023, Rep. Estes introduced a resolution against foreign DSTs. Last year, Rep. Estes condemned Canada’s initial Digital Services Tax on the United States. During the 119th Congress, Rep. Estes issued a statement of support on the Trump administration’s investigation into DSTs.
