Lawmakers Debate New Framework for Digital Economy Taxation

The rapid growth of digital businesses is creating new questions for policymakers.

Traditional tax systems were often designed around physical businesses, while modern companies can serve customers across borders without maintaining a large physical presence.

Lawmakers are therefore examining how digital transactions should be treated.

Supporters argue that updated rules could create a more consistent system.

Critics warn that poorly designed policies could place unnecessary pressure on startups and small online businesses.

The debate highlights the challenge governments face in regulating a rapidly changing digital economy.
