Entrepreneur Othmar Seidl recently shone with the festival on the Steinertor, enlivening not only the Südtirolerplatz in the heart of Krems, but also the old town, which was threatened with extinction. Because he now has to pay a carousel tax of 33,000 euros, he wants to hold the festival at a different location next year.
Othmar Seidl is stunned as he went through his post this week. Although his festival in the Steinertor was a great success during the Whitsun weekend, the memories of it are clouded by the writing. Debt is the entertainment tax of no less than 33,000 euros. “We have to pay the city 15 percent of ticket sales as a carousel tax!”, the entrepreneur is indignant. Outraged because there was no support from the city of Krems for the festival.
