Downloading music may soon cost more

TALLAHASSEE - Downloading your favorite songs off the internet may soon cost you a few more cents.

State Representative Kevin Ambler, a Republican from Tampa, has filed an amendment to a bill that aims to repeal a variety of tax exemptions. The amendment would establish a tax on “digital downloads” including music, audio books, ring-tones and videos.

The average price increase would probably be around seven cents per 99 cent download.

Ambler has also filed another amendment that has to deal with air-craft taxes.

The measure is set for a chamber vote sometime Tuesday afternoon.
