Tax on State Theaters Looms in Southern States
Enterprise Bureau reports indications of a forthcoming tax on moving picture theaters across the state, despite theater owners arguing it would force many venues to close and deprive the public of affordable recreation. Critics note Georgia repealed its sales tax, while South Carolina bills seek a 10 percent admissions tax. Theater operators warn a 50 cent ticket could rise to 55 cents, keeping crowds away. Existing revenue acts also impose 3 to 6 percent gross receipts taxes on theaters.
