EU discusses email tax
A proposal by Alain Lamassoure, a French MEP with the European People’s Party, the Euro parliament centre-right group, includes a tax on text and email messages. According to the proposals, an SMS could be taxed to the tune of 1.5 Eurocents per text, while email would be far cheaper at 0.00001 Eurocents for every message sent.
For Brussels this technology tax is just one option given imminent change in the way the European Union budget is formed.
