One franc a day: the cost of the radio-television fee from 2019
Bern, 18.10.2017 - CHF 365 per annum: this is the level of the radio-television fee which all Swiss households will have to pay from 1 January 2019. The fee is currently CHF 451 and is still linked to the possession of a radio or TV reception device. In its meeting on 18 October 2017, the Federal Council fixed the amount and the date of entry into force of the new radio-television fee. It also confirmed that businesses will be exempted as long as their annual turnover is below CHF 500'000. The remaining businesses will be subject to a sliding scale fee, depending on their turnover.
