>you have to have TV license to watch TV in Europe

I wonder if other countries actually pay this tax

UK≠Europe

And in South Africa. You get to pay to watch propaganda.

Who even watches t.v anymore ?

Wtf

>>73282233
it's not for watching it but for its possession. You can declare you have no Tv though and everything will be fine.

I've literally never had this problem back in Galicia though.

in Germany, everyone pays the tax even if you do not have TV. It's because you enjoy society that has TV and is culturally German, even if you do not watch TV

They are thinking of a Youtube license fee, because more people are watching Youtube instead of normal TV

Fuck off, and I thought canada was being stupid with its proposed 'nerflix tax'

>>73282333
no it's because it's hard as fuck to tell if someone has a TV or not so everyone has to pay. The money also isn't really a tax it's meant as a funding for the state-run tv channels.

Only in the UK tho

>>73282523
it is but unlike in the UK there would be no tax without state-run channels. Doesn't really change anything though.

>>73282624
How much is the tax, if you don't mind me asking ?

>>73282663
something like 18€ a month I think. Everyone hates it and you can't really evade it like a few years ago.

Israel had TV tax since 1995, but we took pitchforks and torches an it finally got abolished in 2015.

Good luck!

the idea behind the german system is to have independent channels who aren't controlled by corporate overlords and push political agendas all day. also it's to have some culture and documentaries that aren't reliant on getting many viewers.

unfortunately the quality of their programs is mediocre and most of it is tailored to old people so the majority of the money is absolutely wasted.
