Relevance analysis tool free of charge

Request access

Digital services tax is gaining ground. Are your business models also affected and are you prepared? Our free software gives you an initial overview for selected countries.

Digital services tax is gaining ground. While there is still no uniform regulation, a series of countries have already introduced their own digital services tax. Details on the taxation of the digitalized economy can be found in KPMG’s flyer KPMG Digital Services Tax Quick Check, in KPMG’s Development Summary, on KPMG’s websites Taxation of the Digitalized Economy and Tax Challenges of Digitization.

While the thresholds for the occurrence of a tax liability are still relatively high and tax rates relatively low, digital services tax presents challenges for many companies. The tax liability does not affect only digital groups and it is independent of the company's domicile. It therefore makes sense to deal with any effects at an early stage.

You can identify the relevant sales in the respective countries and monitor the respective applicable thresholds. In this way you have prompt and detailed information on rules and can initiate the required registrations in a timely manner and take account of expected additional costs due to digital services taxation in your price determination.

Use our free web-based application to obtain a quick overview of the possible burdens on your company due to digital services taxes in selected countries.

Our offer includes:

Free entry-level version
Monitoring thresholds
Up-to-date specialist information on digital services tax for selected countries
Continuous updates in line with the current legal situation

Digital services tax is unstoppable. If there is no global or EU-harmonised solution, there will be increasingly more unilateral solutions. The challenge for companies lies especially with mapping in ERP systems to ensure monitoring and compliance with requirements worldwide. It is therefore important to tackle digital services taxation now, even if no digital service tax has been introduced in your country of domicile. Our tool provides support with impact analysis.
