The US Supreme Court has refused an appeal by Dish Network which objected to plans by Florida to implement a ‘satellite tax’ on users of DTH services from Dish and DirecTV.
The State law can now be implemented. Cable users already have to pay a 4.92 per cent tax on their subscriptions. However, the satellite levy is twice as high, at 9.07 per cent. Additionally, some municipalities in the state also have their own local taxes.
