Lighthizer U.S. Trade Representative 600 17th St. NW Washington, DC 20508 Re: Docket No. USTR-2020-0022: Initiation of Section 301 Investigations of Digital Services Taxes Dear Ambassador Lighthizer: The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) welcomes the U.S. Administration’s recognition that digital services taxes (DSTs) that have been adopted or are under consideration in ten jurisdictions – Austria, Brazil, the Czech Republic, the European Union (EU), India, Indonesia, Italy, Spain, Turkey, and the United Kingdom (UK) – raise concerns under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. These unilateral measures advance a troubling precedent, unnecessarily depart from progress toward stable and sustainable international tax policies, and will disproportionately impact U.S.-headquartered companies. In accordance with the notice and request for comments published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) on June 5, 2020, ITI respectfully submits the following written comments on the Administration’s initiation of Section 301 investigations of these ten measures.1 In our comments, we provide USTR with evidence to support a determination that these new DSTs – like the French DST – are unfair trade practices under Section 301 because they are discriminatory, unreasonable, inconsistent with prevailing international tax principles, and unusually burdensome for affected U.S. companies. Notably, many of the DSTs are structured similarly to the French DST and share the same problematic features that USTR identified in its Report on France’s Digital Services Tax (French DST Report),2 including scope limitations and revenue thresholds that are meant to target U.S. companies and shield domestic companies.

    Xi's System, Xi's Men: After the March 2018 National People's Congress

    Xi’s System, Xi’s Men: After the March 2018 National People’s Congress Barry Naughton The National People’s Congress meeting in March launched a significant administrative reorganization and approved the appointment of a new generation of economic technocrats. The technocrats are skilled and generally support market-oriented reforms. The reorganization is generally market-friendly, but its main purpose is to create a more disciplined and accountable administration to serve as an instrument for Xi Jinping. Last year, after the 19th Communist Party Conference in October, Xi Jinping laid out a general economic program for the next three years. This March, at the 13th session of the National People’s Congress, Xi introduced significant changes in the administrative structure and fleshed out the personnel assignments that will prevail for the next few years. These changes demonstrate once again how firmly Xi is in control of economic policy and personnel. Even if Xi had not also changed the constitution to eliminate term limits for the president (himself) and vice-president, these changes would be enough to demonstrates Xi’s power and ruling style. The policy framework laid out at the end of 2017 allows space for renewed system reforms. As explained in the previous contribution to CLM, successful economic management in 2017 has permitted Xi to prefer “high quality” growth over “high speed” growth, and in particular to launch “three battles”: reducing financial risk; eliminating poverty; and improving the environment.1 While deepening economic conflicts with the United States have certainly complicated the policy environment, until now the Xi administration has stuck to this basic policy orientation.

I’m here at the Ministry of Finance in Jakarta, Indonesia with Minister Sri Mulyani. Minister, thank you very much for taking the time to join us. MULYANI: You're welcome. DEVLIN: I thought I might begin our conversation by asking you to remember back to the earlier days of your tenure here at the ministry. Perhaps you could comment on the individuals or groups who you could count on to back your proposals for reform here in the ministry, the coalition that supported you and your innovations here. MULYANI: Well certainly the individual who played a very important role was the President who appointed me to become the Minister of Finance and gave me his full trust as well as confidence to lead this very big department. Second, as a group of people, is the top echelon of the Ministry of Finance. They were not actually really keen or excited with the idea of reform, because at that time, as I remember from the first meeting with them, I asked and challenged them why the department or the Ministry of Finance or government in general was not trusted by the public, was always seen as a corrupt institution, and how could we live in an institution that was perceived by the public in such a very humiliating way.
