Legal Adviser Broadcaster (Rashut Shidur ha) explained in a letter sent by the NGO “Atslaha” that a tax on television (Agrate televiziya) have to pay all those who have a TV at home, whether it is connected to any -or the means of transmission or not.
«As long as the TV, which is available to citizens, has the potential to receive the signal, and this requires a simple procedure for obtaining a decoder or a connection to a cable network to start enjoying broadcast, this TV is taxed” – wrote attorney Marcia Tsugman Broadcaster of the Law Department in response to a requirement not to pay tax on television, according to “Globes».
Thus, even if the owner of the TV is not connected to an antenna or to a satellite or cable TV, and all day watching DVD, for example, or even to unpack the box with the device, it is required to pay tax on the TV.
His lawyer
response justifies the decision of the Supreme Court, which ruled that should not be exempted from payment of tax on the TV when the TV is connected to an antenna or decoder. It’s enough “potential reception.”
According Counsel Broadcaster transition to digital broadcasting does not change the fact. TV is a TV, a device for receiving broadcast, and there is no need to prove the existence of additional devices for taxation. According to the criterion of the “potential reception”, set at the time the Supreme Court, each owner is required to pay the TV tax.
