The United States and Turkey Announce Agreement on the
Transition from Existing Digital Services Tax to New Multilateral
Solution Agreed by the OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework
November 22, 2021

WASHINGTON - Last month, an historic agreement was reached between 137 countries of the
OECD-G20 Inclusive Framework – representing nearly 95% of the worldʼs GDP – on a two Pillar
package of reforms to the international tax framework to be implemented in 2023.
These reforms will provide for a tax framework that is fairer, more stable, and better equipped
to meet the needs of a 21stcentury global economy.
In support of that agreement, the United States and Turkey have today announced the terms
of an agreement on the transition from the existing Turkish Digital Services Tax to the new
multilateral solution and have committed to continuing discussions on this matter through
constructive dialogue.
This compromise represents a pragmatic solution that helps ensure that countries can focus
their collective e orts on the successful implementation of the OECD/G20 Inclusive
Frameworkʼs historic agreement on a new multilateral tax regime and allows for the
termination of trade measures adopted in response to the Turkish Digital Services Tax.
Overall, this political agreement is yet further demonstration of our commitment to working
together to reach consensus, and to deliver far-reaching multilateral reforms that help
support our national economies and public finances.
