Canada has decided to rescind its proposed digital services tax, a move aimed at improving relations and advancing trade negotiations with the United States. The tax, which targeted large technology companies, had been a point of contention between the two countries, prompting concerns over potential trade disputes and tariffs. The decision to withdraw the tax comes as Canada seeks to foster a more cooperative trade environment with the US, especially amid ongoing negotiations on broader economic and digital trade issues.
