Abstract. The taxation of the digital economy remains a complex and insufficiently regulated issue both at the European Union and global levels. This is due to the large number of different types of digital services and uncertainty in the interpretation of their nature, as well as the specifics of direct and indirect taxation. The briefing paper presents the positions of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the European Commission on this issue, and highlights the different approaches of states to the introduction of taxation of the digital economy at the national level.

Keywords: digital economy, taxation, European Union, digital services, digital services tax, value added tax.
