Companies that paid the now-defunct digital services tax will have to wait for Ottawa to pass new legislation before they can get their refund.

Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Sunday that Canada was dropping the tax on global tech giants in a bid to restart trade negotiations with the United States .

The tax was a three per cent levy on revenue collected by digital firms from their Canadian users.
