According to entrepreneurs and representatives from the world of culture, who met in the morning, rising 13 points from VAT on the price of tickets to cinemas, theaters, music festivals, concerts and private museums strikes the blow sector final grace, because the Treasury does not collect the money that is intended to increase.
The industry estimates that 4,000 direct jobs will be lost
According to calculations by the Union of Business Associations of Spanish Cultural Industry, created after the announcement of the new tax by the Government in July, the rise will cost the film, theater and music the loss of 43 million spectators, and the closure of 20% of the companies and the destruction of 4,000 direct jobs.

The film industry in early August quantified the damages they cause the rise, according to his calculations. A study commissioned by the firm Pricewaterhouse exhibitors and distributors concluded that raising finance in theaters fall almost ten million euros with the VAT of 21%. And, what is worse, force close 859 rooms (21% of the 4044 registered in 2011). The report was sent to the Finance Ministry officials and La Moncloa for study.
The new VAT rate of 21% places our country well above the euro area average (10.1%). Taking the model of Germany, the difference is even greater: General VAT is 19%, while the culture is at 7%. The Pricewaterhouse report also noted that in countries like Latvia, the Netherlands, Hungary and Portugal increases VAT culture created significant negative impacts on income and employment. So much so that eventually revoked the measures.
