From 23 August citizens will be able to request the scrapping bonus tv with a discount up to 100 euro for the purchase of televisions compatible with the new technological standards of digital terrestrial transmission Dvbt-2 / Hevc Main 10. This is provided for by the decree of the Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti, published in the Official Gazette, which also contains the form to request the incentive to be delivered to the retailer or to an authorized ecological island.
Scrap TV bonus, what is it
The bonus consists of a 20% discount on the purchase price of the new TV, up to a maximum of 100 euros, which is obtained by scrapping TV sets that will no longer be suitable for the new technological standards.
How to apply for the TV scrapping bonus
Citizens will be able to request the TV scrapping bonus for the purchase of televisions compatible with the new technological standards of digital terrestrial transmission Dvbt-2 / Hevc Main 10. The contribution for the scrapping of the TV is cumulative for the purchase of a device also with the previous incentive (Bonus tv decoder) for those who are in possession of all the requisites required. Unlike the previous incentive, which remains in force and is therefore cumulative, the bonus is aimed at all citizens without limits of Isee.
To get the incentive, that is the discount up to 100 euros, it will be enough download the appropriate form (published in the Official Gazette together with the implementing decree governing the bonus) and present it to the retailer or even to the authorized ecological islands.
The benefit is however linked to the family unit as only one bonus is granted for the purchase of a family TV.
The requirements to get the bonus
There are three necessary requirements to be able to request the TV scrapping bonus: to be resident in Italy; properly scrapping a TV purchased before December 22, 2018; be up to date with the payment of the subscription fee for the broadcasting service. This last requirement is not provided for citizens aged seventy-five or over, exempt from paying the fee.
