电视税或每间电视机的许可费用在欧洲非常普遍，为整个大陆的许多大型公共广播公司提供资金，例如众多被爱的BBC。但是，本周，瑞典更新了他们的结构来收集电视税，以反映越来越多的人实际观看电视，这不是在他们的电视上。考虑到这一点，电视税现在将适用于带有电脑或平板电脑的任何公民。
随着电视观看越来越多地移动到不是电视的东西，一些欧洲国家已经开始寻找爪伸出一些收入 - 或者只是开辟它的新来源 - 支持他们的公共电视节目。例如，今年早些时候，芬兰将它的电视税从一间电视费中移动到每个人的全面税收。
瑞典’s move represents a sort of middle ground, as viewers will pay a tax only if they own a device they can watch TV on, but will if they own any device they can watch TV on, which means computers and tablets are new targets for Swedish tax collectors. Rather than a new law, though, the tax expansion is actually just stepped up enforcement of a statute that has been on Swedish books since 2006, stating that anyone who can access an entire channel of television on any device is required to pay the fee. While that’s conceivably possible on smartphones as well, they won’t be taxed under the law because really, who watches an entire TV channel on their phone? My eyes hurt just thinking about that.
