The UK government has published a review required by legislation into the functioning of the UK’s Digital Services Tax. There is no meaningful consideration of potential changes and the UK continues to indicate that it will maintain the tax unless an “appropriate global solution is in place.”

New York’s RAISE Act would make developers legally liable for outcomes outside their control. That risks pushing innovation and research out of the state entirely. Clear, workable rules build trust – overreach drives progress away. See the full report: ccianet.org/library/ccia...
