Fee groups radio and television fee

You can request a corporate fee group via FTA Portal.

Corporate radio and television fee and VAT-group

Companies under uniform management may form a VAT group for VAT declaration purposes.

Requesting a refund of the radio and television fee

A refund request for the corporate fee can be submit on FTA Portal.

Companies

Companies under a single management can form one corporate fee group. A corporate fee group consists of at least 30 companies and is liable to pay the fee instead of its members. The total turnover of the individual group members is added together to assess fee liability and determine which tariff category is applicable. The VAT regulations for group taxation apply for joint liability, formation, changes in holdings, dissolution and representation. However, the group is valid only for the corporate fee liability.

Public authorities

Autonomous agencies of public authorities which are subject to VAT may combine for payment of the corporate fee. The same rules apply as for combinations of public authorities for VAT purposes. However, the combination is valid only for the corporate fee liability. The public body to which the combined agencies belong is liable for payment of the fee.

How to apply?

Request fee groups via FTA Portal.
