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 

Spain regarding the issues involved in 

the investigation. Consultations were 

held on December 17, 2020. 

As noted, based on information 

obtained during the investigation, USTR 

has prepared and published the Spain 

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 

Spain DST Report supports findings that 

Spain’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 Spain’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. Spain’s DST, by its structure and 

operation, discriminates against U.S. 

digital companies, including due to the 

selection of covered services and the 

revenue thresholds. 

2. Spain’s DST is unreasonable 

because it is inconsistent with 

principles of international taxation. 

3. Spain’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. 

Joseph Barloon, 

General Counsel, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative.
