Nigeria
From 1 January 2020, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) will introduce withholding value added tax at 5% on all e-commerce goods and service transactions.
When introduced, this tax will be charged and collected via banks and credit card companies in the country; this is instead of suppliers. It would also apply to both resident and non-resident providers of these types of goods and services.
It is proposed that the tax would be levied when the sale is made from the online marketplaces (such as Amazon, eBay, Facebook and Instagram, for example).
Quebec
From 1 September 2019, Quebec introduced sales tax (QST) on sales made by non-resident providers of digital services to consumers residing in the province.
Previously, non-resident businesses providing digital services in Quebec did not have to charge QST on their sales. However, in an effort to remove the unfair advantage that this gave to these companies over resident providers, the Quebec Revenue of Finance has implemented QST on these types of supplies at a rate of 9.975%.
This will be subject to an annual registration threshold of C$30k (approx. £18.5k) and applies to a range of electronic services including streaming games, music, apps, films, e-books, e-journals and internet services.
