entertainment tax

Fun costs extra

A tax levied on tickets or admissions to entertainment venues—theaters, cinemas, concerts, sporting events, amusement parks.

The rate typically applies as a percentage of the ticket price.

Some jurisdictions extend entertainment taxes to cable subscriptions, streaming services, or other paid amusements.

The city's entertainment tax adds eight percent to every movie ticket.
