Dijital ekonomi yüzyıllar boyunca geliştirilen oyunun kurallarını değiştirmiştir. Dijital ekonomi her ne kadar geleneksel ticaret gibi mal ve hizmet ticaretine dayansa da ana konusu dijitalleştirilmiş ürünlerdir. Dijital ekonomi ortaya çıkışından buyana geleneksel ekonomi karşısındaki gelir payını arttırmaktadır. Gelir payı yükselirken, karmaşık yapısından kaynaklanan problemler ülkeler için zorluklara neden olmaktadır. Bunların arasında uluslararası boyutu olan vergilendirme en önemlisidir. Türkiye'nin de içinde olduğu ülkeler bakımından dijital ekonominin vergilendirilmesi oldukça tartışmalı bir konudur ancak Türkiye bu konuda kendi yasal önlemlerini almıştır . Türkiye dijital ekonominin vergilendirilmesi problemini çözmede öncü ülkelerden birdir. Bu problemi çözmek ve kendi vergi gelirleri arttırmak için üç ayaklı bir vergi tedbiri uygulamaktadır. Bunlar; B2C e-hizmet ticareti üzerinden KDV, çevrimiçi reklamlar üzerinden stopaj ve dijital hizmet vergisidir.
