In these cases:

  • If the coincidence occurs for two (or more) supply contracts, falling one type "customers" and the other (or others) in the category "other domestic customers", it is considered "chargeable supply residents" regardless of the date of activation. Then it prevails the provision stated by the taxpayer which is destined to be his residence;
  • If the coincidence occurs for two (or more) supply contracts covered by all in the type "customers" chargeable shall be deemed the provision with latest activation.

Finally, it is recalled that in the year 2016 the measure of the television licence fee for private use is established in a total amount of 100 euro.
