France plans to tax smart phone, tablets etc.

The Financial Times reports France is preparing to tax smartphones, tablets and all other internet-linked devices to help fund the production of French art, films and music.

The proposal has been endorsed by President François Hollande’s socialist administration.

The report proposed imposing a tax of up to 4 per cent on the sale of all devices, including gaming consoles and e-readers, that allow access via the internet to “cultural content”.

Any chance if this happening in Nigeria??
