I think the days of traditional TV stations has passed. My daughter and her pals havenât watched âlinearâ TV in ten years, Iâd say. Itâs an on demand world these days.
France is trying to leave us more cash in our pockets/more purchasing power⊠and Iâll drink to thatâŠ
We donât usually watch or listen to tv shows as they are broadcast but we do make use of the BBC iplayer and BBC Sounds all the time.
There was a mention on the radio program I heard, that the govenment intends to come up with a proposal of how they will replace this revenue, by the end of this year.
So we may find a new wider-ranging tax proposal is made. Such as taxing other devices than just TVs, or introducing new media tax etc on, say, netflix or other online access independently of which device itâs used on
It will be interesting to see how this plays out⊠since the whole point of abolishing the tax is to let folk have more money in their pockets âmore purchasing powerâ.
I think this is more like âthe lord Macron giveth and he taketh awayâ, 3bn of revenue will have to be replaced somehow so expect increases elsewhere.
