Question 13305 — taxes and duties

Summary

Mr. Jean-François Portarrieu draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the subject of the contribution to public broadcasting. Indeed, it seems that certain citizens must today contribute to public broadcasting while not owning televisions or similar equipment. The tax administration services, in order to verify tax returns, usually contact internet service providers and to ask them about a possible subscription to a subscription. Once a subscription is taken out, the administration would consider that the owner is likely to own a television and would consider, in this case, imposing the contribution to public broadcasting. However, today, internet subscriptions de facto include audiovisual services, and it is not possible, for certain citizens, to subscribe to an internet offer by optical fiber with telephony without audiovisual services. However, this would in no way prove ownership of a television. Imposing this contribution on public broadcasting without clear proof and on a simple assumption should not be possible and would not be understood by citizens. Therefore, he would like to know his position on this subject and know what the tax administration can do to accurately verify the ownership of a television and make this contribution pay only to those who owe it.
