Poland’s VOD Levy Yields Almost 2 m EUR in 2020
WARSAW: Digital companies operating in Poland paid 1.986 m EUR / 8.92 m PLN in the first six months since the new VOD levy was introduced in 2020.
The fee for on-demand audiovisual media services on the internet was introduced at the beginning of July as part of the anti-crisis shield 3.0. The levy amounts to either 1.5 percent user fee or ad revenue, whichever is higher for the individual business. The levy must be paid each quarter to the Polish Film Institute.
These funds will be allocated to the Polish Film Institute’s Operational Programmes for film production, organisation of festivals and other film events, support for cinemas and promotion of Polish film abroad.
