The Rai License Fee: Changes in Payment Methods and Bill Integration

The Rai fee will no longer be included in the electricity bill. Here’s how the Italians will have to pay for it: the latest rumors awaiting the official release.

It will most likely happen from 1 January 2024: the Rai fee will be removed from the electricity bill. Already last year there was a lot of talk about an exit of the fee from the electricity bill, but then no change was implemented. The tax on the possession of a device capable of receiving digital terrestrial channels has remained where it was and, more importantly, the amount has not changed.

Citizens pay 90 euros a year unless they are foreign diplomats or soldiers or over 75 with an income of less than 8,000 euros a year. Naturally, those who do not have a functioning television do not have to pay the tax. From the month of January 2024, however, the item of the Rai license fee will most likely no longer appear in the bill, as established by the European Union.

Goodbye Rai fee in the bill, how will we pay it?

Since 2016, Italians have paid the Rai license fee with their electricity bill. The decision was taken after ascertaining the large number of tax evaders who avoided paying the bulletin by pretending they didn’t have a television. For seven years, all holders of an electricity user have instead been required to pay the 90 euros spread over 10 installments of 9 euros. In fact, it is taken for granted that whoever pays for electricity has an appliance in the house. If this is not the case, an exemption can be requested.

But from 2024 there will be news. The rumor of its reduction up to its cancellation (an idea launched by Matteo Salvini) appeals to the Italians but that the dream will come true is highly unlikely. Probably we will see its disintegration and its reduction with the missing portion aimed at reinforcing general taxation. These are the words of Economy Minister Giorgetti.

The intent is to please citizens and reduce tax evasion, a very serious problem in Italy. At the same time, the idea would be to remove the item from the electricity bill for move it to the telephone account. A step aimed at reducing the per capita fee given that telephone users are five times greater than those of the television.

Finally in 2024 we may pay a lower fee amount that will be charged to your phone bill (personal smartphone). This is a hypothesis to be evaluated, so to officially find out how we will pay the license fee and how much we will have to pay, we have to wait a few more months.
