This isn't totally accurate for Sweden. While the license fee per household ceased in 2019, it was replaced by a compulsory public service tax instead. Skatteverket
-
As well as in Finland, somewhere around 2014
-
Same for Denmark
-
Dumb that they'd even bother making it per household. If every house has to pay then just roll it into your regular taxes.
-
Don't know for Sweden but for Germany the reason that it is not an tax is, that the gouvernements get to decide what is done with the tax money and that would heavily limit the freedom of the public broadcasting channels.
That's why it is a fee collected by the channels themself.
-
hey guess what our compulsory tv tax paid for this year?

We still pay for public tv in the Netherlands. They ended the license fees in 2000 but raised taxes to compensate.
-
Imagine watching actual TV. Millions of people do it.

Calling it "TV license fees" is a bit inaccurate, as at least the German fee is not just for TV, but also radio and online offerings. I don't watch TV, but frequently use their online services and occasionally the radio.

I would be happy to pay the media tax (Sweden) if it meant public service ran anti-troll factories on Xitter and TikTok.
No one in my family consumes any radio, TV or their online offerings.

Iceland still has a media tax once per year? I think?
-
Have been successfully dodging the German fee for 15 years. We have enough Tatort already and I'm not paying for stupid soccer licenses.
Cut it by 75% and apply it ONLY to news and educational content and we can talk.

Great diagram in general. Do mind to crosspost this in c/map_enthusiasts@sopuli.xyz?

This is in millions?
-
This would be by household but for the UK it's increased this year to £174.50 (€201 $234).
-
Or is it per person per year?
