Internet tax

Internet tax is a tax on Internet-based services. A number of jurisdictions have introduced an Internet tax and others are considering doing so mainly as a result of successful tax avoidance by multinational corporations that operate within the digital economy.[1] Internet taxes prominently target companies including Facebook, Google, Amazon, Airbnb, Uber.[2]

As of 2019, several countries have passed various Internet tax laws including France[3] and Italy[4] (at 3%) as well as the Czech Republic (7%).[5]
