Rai license fee, what are the consequences for a taxpayer who decides not to pay it? Let’s see in detail what happens.
It was 2016, when the incumbent government decided to insert the payment of the Rai license fee in the bill.
And at a time when bills, due to energy increases, have become the nightmare of Italians, many wonder if this will happen again in 2022. Also why not pay the Rai fee in this case, according to some the taxpayer immediately ends up in a state of arrears. Moreover, do you have to pay it even if the tv is broken? Here’s what the law says.
Rai license fee, what happens if you don’t pay it in your bill
The question is not a small one, because the non-fulfillment of the canon it translates precisely into a failure to pay the entire bill. And at that point, because of this, there will be a first warning power reduction by 15 percent, and then a letter of registered letter of formal notice. In reality, it should be clarified that this does not happen in the event of non-payment of the Rai license fee.
But let’s go in order. Currently the amount of the fee and about 90 euros a yeari which are staggered within the bill on energy utilities. In the event of arrears on this single item, the electricity company will deal with it to send a specific communication to the Revenue Agency.
Normally, at that point, investigations will be triggered by the same office. If the taxpayer then fails to present valid reasons for not having paid the fee, the sanction will be triggered.
You have to pay it even in cases of television malfunction
It is good for citizens to know that a device is not working for example, it is not a good legal justification for not paying the fee. This is also the case if the TV is unable to intercept the signal. The Revenue Agency will then arrange a deadline within which to pay the due amount of the fine. At that point, the Ader will have the traditional tax foreclosure tools, that can go from the car stop to the foreclosure of the current account.
