| Description | The issue of the regulation of the digital tax, also known as the tax on digital services, is currently a hot topic both in the EU area and in the discussion led by individual member states, including the Czech Republic. The digital tax is a response to the advancement and digitisation of business in society. Given that taxed income from digital services is income of foreign entities, this tax is very controversial. In recent years, we have seen diverse attitudes towards digital taxation across countries around the world. The European Union is also not united on this issue. Meanwhile, at a time when the economy of most EU Member States is stagnating because of the measures being taken in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic, there are growing voices in many states for the introduction of a digital tax that would boost pandemic-stricken state budgets. The paper aims to introduce the concept of digital tax in the Czech and EU legal environment, the European Union’s position on it and to propose its possible unification, whether within the European Union or the OECD. |
