answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2021 answer text <p>The Digital Services Tax is a proportionate tax addressing widely held concerns with the tax paid by digital businesses. Pricing strategies reflect a range of factors and are a matter for businesses.</p><p><strong><br></strong>It is for the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), as the UK’s independent competition authority, to investigate specific markets and the behaviour of specific companies. The CMA’s recent market study found that Google and Facebook have market power in search, social media and online advertising markets. In response, on 27 November 2020, the Government announced it is establishing a new pro-competition regime for digital markets, housed in the CMA. We will consult on the form and function of the Digital Markets Unit in early 2021, and legislate to put it on a statutory footing as soon as parliamentary time allows.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 11/01/2021 11:19:59 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
