Porn Tax in Italy

http://www.dazereader.com/24000920.htm The Italian government has officially proposed new taxes on the porn industry, which Reuters slyly calls "one of the country's few vibrant industries". The budget amendment would impose an extra 25% tax on income from pornography and a value-added tax of 10% on pay-TV porn charges.

It could be worse. Dow Jones news notes, "In 2002, France's conservative government slapped a 93% tax on profits from sexually explicit movies as part of an anti-pornography drive."
