Once the official news about the new digital services tax (DST) that they want to apply to Apple, Google and Amazon, among many other multinationals in Europe, the companies have got down to work and have already announced an increase package fees for developers for Apple, Google for its advertisers, and Amazon for third-party sellers. Ultimately, those who will end up paying the fee imposed by the European Union are the users, since companies have already bounced these increases to developers and they in turn will have to raise the prices of their tools and applications to offset the cost ...
The user always loses with these new taxes
What they have to do from the European Union is to regulate the taxes that these large multinationals pay at their roots, that is, in Ireland. Yes, we say this because there the large multinationals (all of them not just Apple) have their headquarters where they declare their taxes and in the rest of the EU countries they always declare losses, so they do not pay taxes. That is the real problem and that is where the EU has to act ... Raising or implementing new taxes on large companies to compensate for these losses have a full impact on users since a kind of chain is made in which obviously the multinational is at the highest link and the user at the lowest.
In the case of Apple, the new digital services tax (DST) makes Apple increases its fees for developers in France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Turkey, but it is not ruled out that they will continue to increase in other countries.
Google and Amazon are in the same situation as Apple and have already announced the price increase for the new tax. This is a problem that has to be solved between the EU and large companies, but in no case should what is happening now happen, that it is the user who will end up paying the rate or new tax.
