The Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) on Tuesday denounced an agreement on France’s digital tax announced by Presidents Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron, AFP reported.

Trump and Macron have agreed on a plan that would see France scrap its digital tax once a new international levy being discussed is in place.

“France’s unilateral digital tax action aimed at leading American companies is unjustified, and if tolerated, will encourage other countries to follow their example,” said Ed Black, the president of CCIA. “We should not support a compromise that would green-light discriminatory taxes against US tech companies for some vague promise of possible partial reimbursement years later.”

Joe Kennedy of the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation said there was no assurance a global agreement would be reached anytime soon.

“The [US] administration should reject any deal that allows France and other countries to move ahead with discriminatory taxes on US technology companies,” Kennedy said. “Digital service taxes violate current trade agreements and flaunt the spirit of tax treaties, and accommodating them would be a mistake.”

The French parliament passed the aforesaid tax in July.
