”Rai has the lowest fee among major European countries: in 2014 It totaled 113,50 €, against 133,00 Euros in France, i 175,30 in the UK and the 215,80 Euros in Germany. Comparing the canon of GDP per capita, the index is higher in Germany, lower in Italy and France, intermediate in the UK. It should be stressed that the rate of evasion of the rent in Italy has the primacy of the estimated 30,50% in 2014, while it is of about 5% in the UK and virtually absent in France and Germany (1%). In Italy, then, almost one in three households do not pay the fee Rai; the rate of evasion is very different in Italy: 26% In the North (least in South Tyrol, 18%, and Friuli, 20%, but in Milan the rears 42%), 29 % in the center, 37% in the South and 40% Islands.”
This reads the TV report 2010-2015 (Analysis on the major players in the Italian television sector) recentemente pubblicato da Mediobanca Research and Studies.
But from 2016, for Italian families will be harder to escape: This is because the tax payment, the regime, It will debit the invoices issued by the companies of electricity distribution in 10 rate mensili da gennaio a ottobre. For the 2016 It will be the next invoice to 1 July, accumulating all previous installments. The burden of proof of non-possession of a television set at home will be charged to the same families and demonstrable by sending a statement to the Revenue (with a false statement we risk a criminal conviction). Otherwise, the existence of a user of electrical energy, It presupposes the possession of a device. This says Stability Law 2016 who also carried out a reduction in the fee Rai 100,00 € (in 2015 It was 113,50 €).
Finally, It reads the above-mentioned report, has calculated that the new amount of 100 euro and to evasion 5% (as in the UK) the current 30,50%: “The proceeds of the "new" fee with be charged in the electricity bill would be an increase of about 420 million compared to 1.569 of 2014, doing public company for the first group revenues in Italy”.
