From 2024, households without radio or television receivers will also pay an annual Serafe fee of CHF 335. However, anyone who receives an annual supplementary benefit (EL) from the federal government in addition to their AHV or IV pension will be exempted from the fee obligation upon request. The exemption applies from the date of receipt of the supplementary benefit, but for a maximum of five years back (2019).
A copy of the legally binding EL receipt sent to Serafe is deemed to be an application. Further information can be found on the website of the Federal Office of Communications (OFCOM).
