New advertising tax angers firms
Tax on the surface area of outdoor advertising from billboards to framed menus on restaurant walls is angering firms
A TAX on the surface area of outdoor advertising from billboards to framed menus on restaurant walls is angering firms.
The taxe locale sur la publicité extérieure, which was created in 2008, replaces three optional taxes on adverts.
