French govt report calls for tax on mobile devices
2013-05-14 09:46:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) One of the 75 proposals of the "Act 2 of the cultural exception" report submitted to the French government on 13 May calls for smartphones and tablets to be taxed to help support the country's creative industries, Reuters reports. TV channels mainly pay the levy now, but as TV will be increasingly consumed on mobile devices, the latter should contribute as much as TVs, said the report's author, former Canal Plus chairman Pierre Lescure. Culture minister Aurelie Filipetti said that handset and tablet makers will pay a minimal proportion of the products' sale price to benefit content creators. The matter will be discussed during the debate on the finance bill in the autumn. The report calls for the levy to be set at 1 percent of the products' sale price.
