Campaigners have written to UK Prime Minister Burnham urging him not to give up the country's tech tax as a concession to the United States. The letter lands just ahead of Burnham's first in-person meeting with President Trump, according to The Register.
The group's concern is that the UK might weaken or abandon its digital services tax to smooth relations with the US. The tax has been a point of tension between the two countries, and campaigners want to ensure it is not used as bargaining chip in diplomatic talks.
The source does not detail specific proposals or the campaigners' identity beyond the letter itself. It frames the issue as a political pressure point rather than a technical or hardware matter, but the outcome could affect how large tech firms are taxed in the UK.
