TV bonus, new funds arriving to scrap televisions in 2023 and 2024: how it works


TV Bonuses: what to know

There have been several Bonus TVs in recent years. The first was introduced by the 2018 Budget Law, in the form of a contribution to citizens for the purchase of new generation television sets, compatible with the new DVT-B2 digital terrestrial standard, the so-called TV-decoder bonus. The 2021 Budget law then provided for a contribution for the purchase of new generation television sets, subject to the recycling of obsolete ones, the TV scrapping bonus. Both expired at the end of 2022 because the funds ran out. Now, the Meloni government would like to re-propose the incentive for scrapping. In the drafts of the provision that the Ministry of Enterprise is preparing to support the telecommunications sector with 90 million of appropriations (a hundred million was mentioned in the Budget law). The draft refers to the ministerial decree of 5 July 2021 (read the document published in the Official Gazette) where the rules for obtaining the contribution were listed. Reference is also made to the 2019 decree, the one relating to the TV-decoder bonus, but it is not yet clear whether the government is willing to resurrect that incentive as well.
Meanwhile, the 2022 Budget Law has introduced a new facilitation which provides for the free delivery, directly to the home, of a new generation decoder for citizens aged seventy or over, holders of a pension not exceeding 20 thousand euros per year, it is the “At home” decoder bonus.
So let's see how the scrapping bonus and the "at home" bonus work, designed for this digital terrestrial switch-off phase.
