The Italian government will have
collected more than two billion euros from the RAI public TV tax
by year's end, said Italian Revenue Agency head Rossella Orlandi
on Wednesday.
Revenue from the tax increased by about 300 million euros
compared to last year, despite a reduction of the tax to 100
euros per household.
This was the first year that the fee was included on
residential electric bills in a bid to eliminate evasion of the
unpopular tax.
Electric companies have already transferred 1.85 billion
euros in RAI taxes to the government, which includes collection
through the month of October, Orlandi said.
