        He has given no indication of it, and it is currently canceled.

        “To support those negotiations, the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, the Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, announced today that Canada would rescind the Digital Services Tax (DST) in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade arrangement with the United States.

        Seems that the rescinding of this legislation is tied to a “mutually beneficial and comprehensive trade arrangement” demonstrating that the DST is not currently completely off the table. In fact, the legislation to rescind it hasn’t been tabled yet.

        “The June 30, 2025 collection will be halted, and Minister Champagne will soon bring forward legislation to rescind the Digital Services Tax Act.”
