OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES 

TRADE REPRESENTATIVE 

Notice of Determination Pursuant to 

Section 301: Austria’s Digital Services 

Tax 

AGENCY: Office of the United States 

Trade Representative (USTR). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Trade 

Representative has determined that 

Austria’s Digital Services Tax (DST) is 

unreasonable or discriminatory and 

burdens or restricts U.S. commerce and 

thus is actionable under Section 301. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

questions concerning the investigation, 

please contact Thomas Au or Patrick 

Childress, Assistant General Counsels at 

(202) 395–0380 and (202) 395–9531, 

respectively, Robert Tanner, Director, 

Services and Investment at (202) 395– 

6125, or Michael Rogers, Director, 

Europe and the Middle East at (202) 

395–2684. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Austria’s DST 

Based on information obtained during 

the investigation, USTR has prepared a 

comprehensive report on Austria’s DST 

(Austria DST Report). The Austria DST 

Report, which is posted on the USTR 

website at https://ustr.gov/issue-areas/ 

enforcement/section-301-investigations/ 

section-301-digital-services-taxes, 

includes a full description of Austria’s 

DST. To summarize, Austria’s DST 

imposes a 5% tax on gross revenues 

from digital advertising services 

provided in Austria. The DST applies 

only to companies with annual global 

revenues of Ö750 million or more, and 

annual revenues from digital advertising 

services in Austria of Ö25 million or 

more. 

II. Proceedings in the Investigation 

On June 2, 2020, the U.S. Trade 

Representative initiated an investigation 

of Austria’s DST pursuant to section 

302(b)(1)(A) of the Trade Act of 1974, as 

amended (Trade Act). See 85 FR 34709 

(June 5, 2020) (notice of initiation). The 

notice of initiation solicited written 

comments on, inter alia, the following 

aspects of Austria’s DST: Discrimination 

against U.S. companies, retroactivity, 

and possibly unreasonable tax policy. 

With respect to tax policy, USTR 

solicited comments on, inter alia, 

whether the DST diverged from 

principles reflected in the U.S. and 

international tax systems including 

extraterritoriality, taxing revenue not 

income, and a purpose of penalizing 

particular technology companies for 

their commercial success. 

Interested persons filed over 380 

written submissions in response to the 

notice of initiation. The public 

submissions are available on 

www.regulations.gov in docket number 

USTR–2020–0022. 

Under Section 303 of the Trade Act, 

the U.S. Trade Representative requested 

consultations with the Government of 

Austria regarding the issues involved in 

the investigation. Consultations were 

held on December 21, 2020. 

As noted, based on information 

obtained during the investigation, USTR 

has prepared and published the Austria 

DST Report, which includes a 

comprehensive discussion on whether 

the acts, policies, and practices under 

investigation are actionable under 

Section 301(b) of the Trade Act. The 

Austria DST Report supports findings 

that Austria’s DST is unreasonable or 

discriminatory and burdens or restricts 

U.S. commerce. 

III. Determination on the Act, Policy, or 

Practice Under Investigation 

Based on the information obtained 

during the investigation, and taking 

account of public comments and the 

advice of the Section 301 Committee 

and advisory committees, the U.S. Trade 

Representative has made the following 

determination under sections 301(b) and 

304(a) of the Trade Act (19 U.S.C. 

2411(b) and 2414(a)): the act, policy, or 

practice covered in the investigation, 

namely Austria’s DST, is unreasonable 

or discriminatory and burdens or 

restricts U.S. commerce, and thus is 

actionable under section 301(b) of the 

Trade Act. In particular: 

1. Austria’s DST, by its structure and 

operation, discriminates against U.S. 

digital companies. 

2. Austria’s DST is unreasonable 

because it is inconsistent with 

principles of international taxation. 

3. Austria’s DST burdens or restricts 

U.S. commerce. 

IV. Further Proceedings 

Sections 301(b) and 304(a)(1)(B) of the 

Trade Act provide that if the U.S. Trade 

Representative determines that an act, 

policy, or practice of a foreign country 

is unreasonable or discriminatory and 

burdens or restricts United States 

commerce, the U.S. Trade 

Representative shall determine what 

action, if any, to take under Section 

301(b). These matters will be addressed 

in subsequent proceedings under 

Section 301.

General Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative.
