Why is it only 3%, what is it about being digital that avoids standard tax rates?
3 % of billions of things is more than 15% of millions of things.
Sure but you take 3% out of my $10 and I have $9.70.
But take 15% out of your $100 and you still have $85.
They can pay their taxes.
Thats false equivalency. Billions is the larger number and since a billion is 1000x a million, it would be 3% of their $10000 and 15% of your $10. So its their $300 tax vs your $1.50 tax. Sure they are still better off, however (un)fair that may be, but it was more in tax than you actually hold, by a wide margin.
Or course we could, and should, argue it should be reveresed, but thats just yelling in to the wind at this point.
Yes, I know that’s the way it is, but the leeches should pay their fucking taxes.
Yet when we pay income tax, we pay more when we make more money.
It’s not false equivalency, it’s math.
[Canada] has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country," Trump said.
Taxing Meta, Apple, and Amazon for business they do in Canada is an attack on the United States?
We didn’t “just announce” it materialized three years ago and makes total sense to have in place from Canada’s POV. Dumbass Trump is wrong and lying or both - yet again.
Not sure what applies o amazon. They do have advertising/sponsored listings, but don’t know if tax applies on overall business.
Amazon Web Services is the world’s most popular cloud provider and where a massive chunk of their profit comes from. Lots of people don’t seem to know about it, but their logistics arms is almost like a side hustle compared to AWS
In Q1 2025, AWS accounted for 17% of Amazon’s overall revenue but over 60% of its operating income.
A TACO says what?
Great. The US can fuck right off and when it’s done fucking off, it can fuck off some more. Until the end of time.
“I’m taking my toys and going home!”
“You owe me some tariff taxes on those.”
“AAAAGGGGHHHHH!!!”
I guess Carney was getting too much attention as “the Trump whisperer” for his ego to handle, so he wants to punish Canada and put Carney back in his place as he sees it.
I kind of suspected we would see something like this after seeing so much in media about Carney’s success in managing the Trump relationship.
No problem. The boycott continues. If they don’t pay tax then they are stealing from us, so torrent away.
Jokes on them. Been torrenting their shit for a couple decades now.
U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax.
U.S. President Donald Trump says he’s ending all trade discussions with Canada while signalling he may impose a blanket tariff to hit back at Ottawa for imposing a tax on web giants.
Gotta earn his bribes. As opposed to doing anything useful or competent.
Enable, disable, enable, disable.
We can’t do “business” with an unstable idiot.
It’s best we ignore him, and keep working with countries who aren’t lead by a total shit stain.
As an individual, I’m happy continuing to rapidly cull any American ties I have with brands and services.
Try telling Carney, or your MP, that. My MP is a back bencher do nothing, Brad Rediccop, who has said that he has no plan on doing anything (in more professional words).
The US has been really flaky lately. Have you tried rebooting it?
Good. Fuck off.
That’s what they call a power move, Becky. “This conversation ends now” shows who’s really in control, Becky. OMG, look at her butt.
Great news. But my Trump-BS-translator is going haywire: since this is a lie like everything Trump says, next week Carney is going to have some sort of deal with Trump.
Please don’t say that, I am scared Carney with bend over for him if it goes that fast! Luckily e do have a few agencies pushing for this.
