"This is not an online sales tax on goods ordered over the internet," he said, saying that such a tax would end up getting passed down to users.
他表示:“这不是对通过互联网订购的商品征收的网上销售税,”这种税最终将转嫁到用户身上。
The digital services tax will be paid by companies that are profitable, he said, and making at least 500 million pounds per year in global revenues.
哈蒙德称,数字服务税将由每年全球营收至少为5亿英镑、利润丰厚的公司支付。
To be clear, the UK government expects large companies, and not startups, to "shoulder the burden" of the tax, the Treasury noted.
英国财政部指出,需要申明的是,英国政府希望大公司而不是初创企业“承担这笔税负”。
