Secretary Mnuchin Statement On OECD’s Digital Economy
Taxation Report
March 16, 2018

Washington, DC—U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin issued the following statement
regarding the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development’s (OECD) report on
taxation of the digital economy.
“The U.S. firmly opposes proposals by any country to single out digital companies. Some of
these companies are among the greatest contributors to U.S. job creation and economic
growth. Imposing new and redundant tax burdens would inhibit growth and ultimately harm
workers and consumers. I fully support international cooperation to address broader tax
challenges arising from the modern economy and to put the international tax system on a more
sustainable footing.”
