Abstract
Los nuevos modelos de negocio de la economía digital se caracterizan por su capacidad de desarrollar su actividad en un territorio sin presencia física en el mismo, lo que provoca que los países del mercado no puedan gravar el beneficio de tales empresas. Muchos países han adoptado o propuesto medidas unilaterales para compensar esta menor recaudación. Es el caso del Impuesto sobre Servicios Digitales propuesto por la Comisión Europea y el Gobierno de España. Como afirma la OCDE, dichos impuestos deben respetar los Convenios de Doble Imposición. Este trabajo analiza la naturaleza jurídica de estos tributos, así como si son directos o indirectos, con la intención de determinar si se trata de gravámenes sobre el volumen de negocios -que quedan fuera del art. 2 del MCOCDE- o, por el contrario, si quedan dentro del ámbito de aplicación de los Convenios.
The new business models of the digital economy are characterized by their capacity of developing their activity in a territory without significant physical presence therein. This entails that the market countries cannot tax the profit of those companies. Many countries have introduced or proposed unilateral measures to compensate the lower revenues. This is the case of the Digital Services Tax proposed by the European Commission and the Spanish Government. As the OECD has claimed, these taxes need to respect Double Tax Conventions. This article studies the legal nature of these taxes, and whether they are direct or indirect, in order to conclude if they must be considered turnover taxes –outside the scope of art. 2 of the OECD MC- or, on the contrary, whether they fall within the scope of Tax Treaties.
