But not every tax is approved -

Italy rejects pornography tax

Italian lawmakers have voted not to impose a heavy tax on pornography.

The government had proposed a levy on the manufacture, distribution and sale of pornographic magazines, films and video tapes.

But the Chamber of Deputies voted by 250 to 57 not to impose a 25 per cent tax on the material.

When Premier Silvio Berlusconi's conservative government announced the proposal last month it sparked a debate among those opposed to such a high levy.

Others said the government should ban porn outright and not make money from it.
