Rai license fee in the 2022 electricity bill, stop from 2023

Rai license fee still in the electricity bill in 2022, but out of January 2023. It is the firm intention of the Draghi executive to maintain the commitment made in the Recovery Plan with the European Union, relating to the cancellation of the so-called improper charges from energy costs recalls studiocataldi.it. But how would it disappear? As reported by Italia Oggi, the tax that finances national television will be eliminated from electricity costs at the same time as the reform of the energy market and not thanks to the annual law on competition (the bill for 2021 has just been approved by Council of Ministers). It was already the implementation annex of the European Council on the approval of the evaluation of the recovery and resilience plan for Italy (Pnrr) that established that, verbatim, “the accompanying measures to ensure the dissemination of competition in the electricity retail markets will come into effect at the latest on December 31, 2022 “. In the summer, however, it was thought that the elimination from the bill could take place through the annual Competition Law 2021. The introduction of the payment of the national TV license into the bill took place in 2015, during the Renzi government, through the 2016 stability law, starting in July. The payment, equal to 100 euros for the first year after entry into force, was made in installments and entered in a specific item of the bill. The charge of the tax through the invoices issued by the electricity companies has drastically increased the revenue collected. But, according to the requests of the European Commission, the fee weighs down the energy bills which become much more expensive than the actual due. And for this reason it should be eliminated. In the contract sent to the EU, our country undertakes to cancel the obligation for companies that sell electricity to “collect through their bills sums that are not directly related to energy”.
