Canada scrapping tax on US tech firms after Trump suspends talks

Canada’s government announced late Sunday that it would scrap its digital services tax on U.S. technology companies, paving the way for the resumption of trade talks that President Trump suspended late last week.

Canada’s government had planned to begin collecting the tax on Monday but said on Sunday it would no longer do so “in anticipation of a mutually beneficial comprehensive trade agreement with the United States,” according to Canada’s Department of Finance.
