Free TV Licence


Recommended Posts

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 April

Thanks in advance Jan[8-)]

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).
