Global ban on digital duties ends as WTO talks fail. Taxing digital downloads now allowed after prohibition expiry.
The ban on taxing digital downloads has ended as members of the World Trade Organization concluded their yearly meeting without reaching an agreement. This prohibition, which was in place to prevent levies on digital content such as software, music, and e-books, has now lapsed. The decision comes after the WTO failed to come to a consensus during their annual gathering. This development could potentially impact the taxation of online purchases and downloads worldwide.
