So what happened to the TV scrap bonus given to those who are up to date on paying the license fee? The scope of economic aid, designed to encourage the replacement of television sets and the correct disposal of old devices, has not yet been extended, but the possibility that it could be reintroduced this year is not ruled out. Before the last budget law was approved, it was rumored that 90 million euros would be allocated for the TV scrapping bonus in 2024. However, the incentive has not been renewed for now.
What we know about the TV scrapping bonus in 2024
Last year, the Meloni government included the expansion of this measure in a draft provision prepared by the Ministry of Commerce and Made in Italy to support the telecommunications sector. It was an interim text and therefore open to changes, but in the meantime there was talk of a possible allocation of around 90 million euros. Money that will allow the stimulus to be reactivated for this year as well. “We asked MEF to refinance the measure because we believe it is important to provide citizens with the continuity of a tool to facilitate this delicate technological transition,” said Trade Minister Adolfo Urso.
However, financing for the facility has not been provided yet. The ‘legacy’ TV scrapping bonus funds are exhausted in November 2022, with the decryptor bonus being provided. In an old correspondence on the website of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, we read that the general allocation is as follows: the amount envisaged for the single fund consisting of the TV scrapping bonus and the TV-decoder bonus is approximately 250 million euros and that “the incentive is due until 31 December 2022 It will be valid until the allocated resources are exhausted.” Money that, as mentioned, no longer exists.
For this reason, the platform opened by the Revenue Administration to obtain bonus release authorization has not been operating for months. Can the state contribution bonus for the scrapping of old televisions and the resulting purchase of new generation televisions be reintroduced as of 2024? The government has the intention, but it is too early to be certain and it needs to be stipulated at this time.
How the TV bonus works (goes).
The fact is that this benefit was initially provided for those who disposed of the old device through a proper disposal procedure, with a discount of 20% on the purchase price of a new television offered by the dealer and up to a maximum of 100 euros. . The TV scrapping bonus was introduced for the first time in the 2021 budget and is paid in the form of a contribution to new generation television buyers, on the condition that they pay attention to the correct scrapping of old devices through proper disposal of electronic waste, in the perspective of environmental protection.
As can be read on the Revenue Administration website, the requirements for accessing the latest version of the aid were as follows: In addition to residing in Italy, the television to be destroyed had to be purchased before 22 December 2018 and the delivery had to be made before 22 December 2018. It will be carried out at the dealer or at the municipality’s collection center. It was also necessary to have an electricity contract in which the TV license fee was collected or the same tax was paid via form F24, or alternatively an exemption from the TV license payment was provided to citizens aged 75 and over. income.
After receipt of the documents, the registered seller sent an electronic communication containing some information, including the tax code and details of the buyer’s identity document, identification information, using the electronic service offered in the reserved area of the Agency’s website. device data and final sales price. The seller was able to recover the applied discount through a tax credit that could only be used as compensation with form F24, which had to be submitted through the Internal Revenue Service’s electronic services.
Also in 2022, another step was taken with the provision of the “at home” decoder bonus: a measure that provides free delivery of the new generation decryptor directly to the home for citizens of the same age or older. 70, holders of a pension of not more than 20 thousand euros per year.
