COTA zaait verwarring met protest tegen hoge belasting

Het Circuit of the Americas heeft protest ingediend tegen het bedrag dat ze jaarlijks af moeten dragen aan de belastingdienst. De waarde van de baan in de buurt van Austin is door de overheid geschat op 271 miljoen dollar, waardoor ze 7,1 miljoen dollar aan belasting verlangen. Volgens de directie bij COTA is de waarde van het circuit al gedaald naar 100 miljoen dollar. Dat zou een belasting van 2,8 miljoen dollar per jaar inhouden.

De leiding van het circuit heeft nu bezwaar aangetekend tegen de hoge belasting, zo bericht de Austin American Statesman. COTA-voorzitter Bobby Epstein: "Men denkt dat wij de Formule 1 zijn, maar wij zijn slechts een locatie voor entertainment. De inkomsten vloeien grotendeels door naar de entertainers, in dit geval de Formule 1. Het circuit kan zich deze hoge belasting niet veroorloven. Als daar niet snel verandering in komt, zal de baan te koop worden gezet, zonder race-contracten."

Die dreigende taal is bij velen in het verkeerde keelgat geschoten. COTA krijgt namelijk jaarlijks een subsidie van de staat Texas om de fee van 22 miljoen dollar voor de Grand Prix te dekken. Bill Aleshire, voormalig rechter en medewerker van de belastingdienst: "Het is ridicuul dat ze nu overal verkondigen dat de boel veel minder waard is, terwijl ze die subsidie juist krijgen omdat ze een katalysator voor de economie zouden zijn. Ze beweren nu het tegendeel."

  • Hey wat vreemd, weer een goed circuit dat de torenhoge kosten voor een grand prix niet kan dekken...

    Noem mij één circuit wat er financieel wel uitspringt bij het organiseren van een F1-race? Ik denk dat alleen Monaco financieel geen zorgen heeft. Zelfs Spa moet jaarlijks voor een deel worden bijgestaan door de overheid, Melbourne gaat zelfs een dikke 40 miljoen in de min en daar begint de bevolking er ook genoeg van te krijgen. Al met al is het spektakel, want door de technologische verschillen zorgen er voor dat het al lang niet meer een echte sport is, iets wat veel en veel te duur is geworden. Bernie heeft ooit gezegd dat er wat hem betreft ook geen publiek aanwezig hoeft te zijn, de F1 huurt de circuits en en verdient zich suf aan tv-gelden.
