Special RAI License Fee: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If you run a shop in Italy with a TV or radio, you must pay this specific license fee to legally operate your equipment.
This scheme ensures that businesses and shops have the legal right to use television or radio equipment on their premises.
Who it's for
This fee applies to any shop or business location that uses a television or radio.
What you get
By paying this fee, you obtain the legal authorization to have a TV set or radio equipment operating within your commercial space.
What it costs you
You must pay an annual fee, and the cost for businesses is significantly higher than the standard residential rate.
The catch to know
A common mistake is thinking you only pay if you watch broadcast programming; however, even a monitor that is capable of receiving signals requires this payment.
How to apply
- Identify if your business premises contain any equipment capable of receiving TV or radio signals.
- Check your current commercial tax and license obligations.
- Consult with a local tax professional or the relevant authority to ensure your business is properly registered for the correct rate.
