PARIS (Reuters) - Austria, Britain, France, Italy, Spain and the United States reached an agreement on Thursday on the transition from national digital services taxes contested by Washington to a new global tax deal, they said in a joint statement.

The European countries agreed to withdraw their national digital services taxes in line with a deal reached among nearly 140 countries earlier this month on new rules for international corporate taxation.
