FISC ICM on "the taxation of digital activities at national and international level, in light of ongoing developments at OECD/G20 level”, 16 October 2025

The FISC Sub-Committee in cooperation with the Legislative Dialogue Unit of the Directorate for Relations with national Parliaments organised an ICM on digital taxation on Thursday, 16 October, from 09.45 to 12.30 at the European Parliament, in the Antall building, room 4Q1.

Following the great success of the EU Tax Symposium last March, indicating a clear willingness to exchange on European tax topics, and in light of ongoing developments at OECD/G20 level, the Subcommittee on Tax Matters (FISC) organised an interparliamentary committee meeting to discuss and exchange experiences on digital taxation at national and international (OECD/G7) level.

This meeting brought together representatives from the European Parliament, national parliaments, representatives from national tax administrations, the Commission and economists. The discussion focused on the reasons behind the implementation (or not) of a digital services tax (DST), the choice of the tax base and the rate applied and the difficulties encountered.
