Theatre Owners Weigh Tax Impact Ahead of Sept. 1
Bridgeport theatre managers say no admission price increases yet as a new 1 percent amusements tax looms. Plans for collection are unclear with state officials to decide tax mechanics. McCarthy of Plaza Theatre notes no decision until officials agree on tax scope and enforcement. Samuel Dawe cites tax not in effect until September 1 and wields caution on pricing. County supervisors report forms and instructions are still being prepared and will guide operators once finalized.
