ERR to examine culture funding after casino tax cut

Estonia’s online casino tax cut was meant to bring extra money to culture, but the expected funding did not materialise, leaving the cultural sector to tighten its belt, ERR reports.

The programme will discuss whether the answer is to raise the casino tax or to reduce culture’s reliance on gambling revenue and alcohol excise. Its guest is Margus Allikmaa, head of the Cultural Endowment. “Esimene stuudio” begins on ETV at 21:40, hosted by Johannes Tralla and edited by Johanna Alvin.
