Ils bénéficiaient avant d'un régime spécial à 0%, du coup c'est une sacré claque, ils auraient pu faire avec si ils étaient dans les 7/8% comme le Metaldays, mais là c'est même pas jouable sold out. Ils espèrent pouvoir faire une édition l'an prochain, mais en étant autant taxé, je sais pas de quoi aura l'air l'affiche ou le prix final en comparaison de cette année qui valait carrément le coup...

Putain ça craint un max quand même! C'est quand même une sacré augmentation de taxe ça...

Le communiqué du fest:

BURNING SEA festival forced to be canceled

Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have been forced to cancel the BURNING SEA festival for 2013, although ticket sales were much better than METALFEST tickets last year!

The Croatian government decides to charge an extra VAT of 25 % to the regular ticket prices also for cultural associations. Originally and until now, all of our calculations (e.g. Metalfest 2012) were made with 0 % VAT due to cultural tax exceptions as stated on tickets as well.
Only a couple of days ago we were informed by the tax office about the changes in VAT law.

We are not able to buffer a 25 % backup, so in the end there is no way for us to make the BURNING SEA festival into a business that is profitable - Even if it would be SOLD OUT!

We were not able to find an investor in such a small period of time. We are group of metal enthusiasts, so without any big industry behind us, there is no way for us to make this festival running without knowing how much money we would loose.

With this cancelation we are joying HGU (Croatian union of musicians) in their protests against this tax law, and hope that in 2014 Croatia will not be European state with highest Taxes when it comes to festival/concerts tickets prices.
For your better understanding, Germany has 7%, Slovenia 8,5%, and Austria 9% taxes on income made on festival/concert tickets.

We will try to revitalize BURNING SEA in 2014, based on a new calculation and unfortunately with a ticket price including the VAT.

All ticket money will be refunded at the shops where they were bought originally! PLEASE CONTACT THE SHOPS WHERE YOU BOUGHT YOUR TICKET.
If you bought Fan pack, you can keep your T-shirt.

Some of the bands will be added onto the billing of METALDAYS festival in Slovenia, and for other bands we will try to organize back-up shows.

For any comments, please visit official Burning Sea forum.

NOTE : visit METALDAYS WITH BURNING SEA TICKET!!!!
We are aware that many of you, metalheads, will be extremely disapointed with this cancelation, so we decided to offer you an option to still enjoy your metal holidays.
Therefore all BURNING SEA tickets can simply be exchanged into METALDAYS tickets without any overprice.
All you must do is to bring your valid BURNING SEA ticket to Metaldays box office at Metaldays festival.

More info about that (soon) on: www.metaldays.net

We apologize for the cancellation.

Quelle histoire! Pas la peine de demander s'ils reçoivent des subventions là bas alors...

[Pierre]

En gros leur budget se retrouverait amputé d'un quart Putain mais 25% de TVA, quoi Et après on se plaint de la fiscalité française...

[BurningDarkness]

C'est combien la TVA sur le ticket du Hellfest d'ailleurs ?

[Pierre]

C'est 5,5% En France, le spectacle vivant et les manifestations culturelles ont le taux de TVA le plus bas

[Jeff Von Dijon]

le spectacle vivant

Vivant, vivant, ça dépend surtout du tôt d'alcoolémie et des groupes qui passent!

CROATIAN TAX OFFICE WILL LOWER VAT FOR CONCERTS. THEY ARE SPEAKING OF LOWERING IT DOWN TO 5%.
CANCELING BURNING SEA WAS PAINFUL DECISION FOR ALL INVOLVED, YOU AND US...BUT WE ARE SURE THAT IT WAS FOR GOOD.... BURNING SEA IN 2014 LOOKS MORE REALISTIC NOW.
