Kentucky Lawmakers Pass Satellite TV Tax (SkyREPORT) 03.09.05

(SkyREPORT) This week, both chambers within the Kentucky General Assembly approved a tax-overhaul plan and budget that would assess a tax on satellite TV services.

A 3 percent state-wide tax would be imposed on satellite TV services, which are not taxed inside the Bluegrass State. If signed into law, the new levy would match an existing 3 percent tax on cable services throughout Kentucky.

Kentucky Gov. Ernie Fletcher still needs to approve the budget/tax bill. In the past, he has supported a tax on satellite TV services to help grow state revenues.

May as well tax satellite too, they tax everything else! They're adding another 26 cents per pack on cigarettes in July. I think we pay more taxes for less services than anyone in the country.

Shouldn't this be in the general satellite forum?
