The Digital Services Tax (DST), which the Treasury estimates will raise £1.5 billion over four years, will apply a 2 percent levy to revenues derived from the activities of U.K. users of search engines, social media platforms and online marketplaces. It's not an online sales tax but one that targets revenue generated thanks to data collected from users.

The Office for Budget Responsibility, the U.K. government’s tax and spending watchdog, confirmed the tax is expected to come from “a handful of large businesses” — mostly relating to advertising revenue and the commissions charged by online marketplaces. It warned that the estimated £400 million a year tax take is highly “uncertain” because of the “data, modeling and behavioral complexities involved.”
