25 percent of sales
When a tax causes the death of events
Because the old amusement tax is now being levied again by several municipalities in Carinthia, event organizers are sounding the alarm: "In some cases, 25 percent is being levied.

Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The entertainment tax, which more and more Carinthian municipalities are reactivating due to their ailing coffers, is depriving the entire event industry of its livelihood. The well-known event organizer Thomas Semmler is also sounding the alarm. "Many municipalities have a spending problem. Instead of thinking innovatively, age-old fees such as the entertainment tax are being pulled out of the drawer.
