A senior UK official noted that negotiations are progressing rapidly, although there are still disagreements between the two countries regarding pharmaceutical issues.

U.S. companies have expressed criticism towards Poland's plan to introduce a digital services tax, arguing that it unfairly targets major foreign investors. According to Jin10, the public consultation period for the draft legislation will commence on Monday. The proposed tax would impose up to a 3% levy on digital platforms involved in advertising sales, user data processing, or facilitating online transactions. It would apply to companies with global revenues exceeding 1 billion euros and at least 25 million zlotys (approximately $7 million) declared in Poland.
The Trump administration has threatened retaliatory measures against the European Union's taxation of U.S. tech companies, adding another point of tension in transatlantic relations following disputes over trade and Greenland. Marta Pawlak, Director of Legal and Public Policy at the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland, stated, "This proposal disregards the positive impact American investors have had on Poland's economy over the years, signaling a departure from the long-standing trust between the two sides. U.S. companies have invested $60 billion in assets in Poland. This policy sends a concerning message to American investors across all sectors."#USCompanies #Poland #DigitalServicesTax #Taxation #ForeignInvestors #TechCompanies #TransatlanticRelations #AmericanInvestors #EconomicImpact #PublicConsultation
