Digital Camera World has an article today on a new annual tax to be levied on any camera with a value over 240 Euros.
I suspect this is an April Fool's Day joke. Every mention I can find of this "camera tax" leads back to this one story.
The thing is, this isn't that far fetched given the things that the EU has done recently, including a ruling a couple of years ago that any camera capable of recording more than 30 minutes of video fell under the heading of camcorder for import/export classification.
That resulted in those cameras being subject to a 4.9% import duty.
And that's no joke.
