jan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I have heard that the TV licence in France is free for the over 60's, if this is true how do I get the money back that I have paid for this year because I was 60 last AprilThanks in advance Jan[8-)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 It used to be free for over 65s, but was changed a while back. Now it is only free for pensioners if they were aged 65 on or before 1st January 2004. Otherwise it's calculated in a similar way to exemption from other taxes, and is means tested. Unless you are exempt from paying Taxe d'Habitation you'll almost certainly have to pay the redevance audiovisuelle (TV licence).http://vosdroits.service-public.fr/particuliers/F90.xhtml?&n=Retraite&l=N16. http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1059675/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Coeur de Lion Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Out of interest, who gets the tv licence money in France? Is there a tv channel similar to the Beeb that hogs it all, or does it just go to the taxman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
