Should digital signage operators pay TAX for digital signage screens?

I just read on the digitalsignagearticles.com that a few people have posted a twitter post about an Italian Tax on digital signage. Basically the article is about a tax (100 euro per year per screen/location) that needs to be paid by network operators in Italy to the government. I haven’t really seen that many implementations in Italy but it sounds like their Government is trying to cash in the digital signage industry. Why – because the Government can see that $$$ and revenues businesses are making from advertising on digital screens.

I’m pretty sure that this digital signage TAX will flow through many of our countries and operator or the owners of the screens will be expected to pay the government for having a screen at the front of their store facing the public areas.

So let’s start a poll to see what your responses are.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post’s poll.

Are there any countries that are currently paying for digital signage Tax?

Feel free to submit your answer as a comment.
