Google imposes a 2.5% surcharge on Canadian ads from Oct. to cover the 3% Digital Services Tax.

Google is introducing a 2.5% surcharge on ads in Canada, starting from October, in response to Canada's new 3% Digital Services Tax (DST) on foreign tech companies with revenue from Canadian users. The surcharge aims to cover part of the cost of complying with the new tax, which has faced opposition from US trade associations and business groups, where many tech companies are based. The Office of the United States Trade Representative has expressed its readiness to use all available tools to halt the tax.
