Conclusion
On the basis of a report by the Comptroller and Auditor General, we took evidence from HM Treasury and HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) on the Digital Services Tax.1 The government introduced the Digital Services Tax in April 2020 because it was concerned that the existing international tax system did not recognise the value being generated for digital companies through UK online users.2 For many years members of this Committee have been raising concerns about multinationals using corporate structures to avoid paying UK tax.3
