US companies criticize Poland's proposed digital services tax.

American businesses criticize the plan by Poland's Ministry of Digital Affairs to introduce a digital services tax, saying that it unfairly targets some of the largest foreign investors. The public consultation period for the draft bill will begin on Monday, proposing a tax of up to 3% on digital platforms that sell advertising, process user data, or facilitate online transactions, applicable to companies with global revenues exceeding 1 billion euros and declaring income of at least 25 million zlotys in Poland. The Trump administration has threatened retaliatory action against the EU for taxing American tech companies, turning this dispute into another transatlantic point of friction after trade and the Greenland issue. Marta Pawlak, head of legal and public policy at the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland, said: "This proposal ignores the positive impact American investors have had on the Polish economy over the years, sending a signal that deviates from the long-standing relationship of mutual trust between the two sides. American businesses have invested $60 billion in assets in Poland. This policy sends a concerning message to American investors in all areas."
