Discriminatory Cross-Border Service Taxes Threaten US Exports
The Tax Foundation released a research paper analyzing three examples of discriminatory cross-border service taxation: a UN convention proposal, European digital services taxes targeting gross revenues, and the US base erosion and anti-abuse tax. The paper finds these instruments impose higher effective tax burdens on cross-border service provision compared to domestic activity, resulting in tax pyramiding, double taxation, and distorted production decisions. Implications: US services exporters face a growing patchwork of discriminatory taxes worldwide that undermine trade neutrality. As the world's largest services exporter, the US has a stronger interest in combating discriminatory services taxation than in pursuing tariffs. Exporters and policymakers should monitor evolving international tax frameworks and consider implications for cross-border service trade competitiveness.
