Franchise fee payments made by a franchisee to the Authority are additions to, and exclusive of, any and all taxes, business license fees, other fees, other levies or assessments of general applicability presently in effect or subsequently adopted.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to limit the ability of the Authority to impose a tax, fee or other assessment of any kind on any person (other than the franchisee) with respect to a cable service or other programming or communications service provided by such person over a cable system for which charges are assessed to subscribers, but not received by a franchisee. For purposes of illustration only, this subsection shall include the situation(s) where a premium service directly bills a subscriber, or the franchisee merely acts as a collection agent for a premium service billing directly to a subscriber.
