TV licence fee: full relief in 2008 for over-65s previously exempt
Article 29 of the 2007 amending finance law granted for 2008 a 50% relief on the TV licence fee to payers aged over 65 on 1 January 2004 who had been exempt before the 2005 reform and met the income conditions. Article 8 of the law of 8 February 2008 on purchasing power removed the words '50%', turning it into full relief for 2008.
