Cross-country trade has been visible since the 15th century, when traders from India and China met up to trade their goods via the barter system. However, the growth of trade has been enhanced since then to include cross-border trading while still maintaining the conventional way of doing business where customer and supplier interact face-to-face. Progressively, in the 20th century, the evolution of business became more global. Globalization has changed the patterns of trade around the world, and specifically, the internet has exponentially developed and grown. The internet has not just modified the way customers, firms, and suppliers communicate; it has also rearranged the internal workings of companies and firms and influenced the nature, foundation, and strength of competition across the industries worldwide. The emergence of e-commerce is considered to be the new way of conducting global commerce or the improvement of contractual links among the sellers and buyers without either of them coming into substantial contact with each other. The shift from a physically oriented commercial environment to a knowledge-based electronic environment poses serious and substantial issues in relation to taxation and taxation regimes. This study details the digital tax models currently imposed among Asia-Pacific countries
