Who can be exempted from the broadcasting fee?
Exemption is available for recipients of citizen's benefit, social assistance, BAfoG, training allowance, or basic income support (Section 4(1) RBStV). People with severe disabilities (mark RF) can apply for a reduction to one third (Section 4(2) RBStV).
