A tax on digital transactions in
the 2018 budget bill has been lowered from 6% in a draft
approved by the Senate to 3% and will not be applied to
e-commerce under a new amendment presented on Monday to the
Lower House's budget commission by lawmaker Francesco Boccia, a
member of the ruling Democratic Party.
Boccia said the web tax at 3% would bring in revenues of
''about 190 million'' euros.
The measure is part of 12 amendments including a ''digital
package'' concerning new rules on the protection of digital
data, the lawmaker said.
