TAX ON SPORT
A sensation has been caused in the tennis world by the decision of the French Tennis Federation to transfer the challenge round of the Davis Cup from Paris to Brussels. This is the result of the French Treasury’s decision to levy entertainment tax on national and international tennis tour- ! neys in future, these having been j exempted in the past. As the proj posed taxation amounts to 33 per cent, of the gross takings, the decision of the Federation to hold tlie final in . Belgium is understandable. Football and other field sports are not affected by the tax. In this collection, the ; Treasury is allege dto have got a i nasty one off its chest. Approached 1 by the federation with a request that j tennis be accorded the same privileges as other sports, it dismissed the application with the freezing comment that tennis was not a sport.
