India, South Africa Put Foot Down On Expansion Of Ecommerce Tax Moratorium

SUMMARY

Indonesia wants to bring both transferable and downloaded content under the ambit of the moratorium

India, South Africa has been against the extension of ecommerce moratorium

As per UNCTAD, developing countries have lost $10 Bn revenue due to the moratorium of ecommerce

The World Trade Organisation (WTO) might expand the jurisdiction of the global moratorium on ecommerce to include both transferable and downloaded content. However, the proposal has not gone down well with both India and South Africa, who have once again put their foot down on the ecommerce moratorium issue.

The proposal raised by Indonesia wants digitised or diglecitisable goods like books, video games, software and music to come in the ambit of the ecommerce moratorium. However, an Indian official told ET that the country does not differentiate between transmitted and downloaded content, therefore it is against any such proposal to not tax downloaded content.
