The tax is payable on a monthly basis per cinema, for the cinema weeks completed during the month in question and during which at least two screenings were organised. However, for the months of December and January, the tax is due until 31 December and from 1 January respectively.
The tax is not due if the monthly amount per cinema is less than €80.
The amount of the tax may not be taken into account when determining the basis of assessment for the various taxes and duties of any kind other than value added tax to which the revenue from cinemas is subject.
