Yes, it's true, but digital services tax was only supposed to be temporary and the UK agreed to move away from it once a global tax system was negotiated at the OECD. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/uk-agrees-transition-towa...

I think those talks have ultimately stalled, so the right solution is getting back on track to a global tax system.

(Interestingly the deal struck in 2021 exchanged the promise of no US tariffs with the transition away from DST. It's no surprise this is a hot topic again with Trump's tariff regime.)
