The household levy amounts to EUR 15.30 per month and must be paid in any case, regardless of whether there is a broadcasting reception device in the household or not.
For businesses, the ORF contribution obligation is linked to the municipal tax liability of the entrepreneur. The number of ORF contributions to be paid monthly at EUR 15.30 depends on the amount of wages as defined by the Municipal Tax Act (KommStG), ranging from one ORF contribution (up to EUR 1.6 million in annual wages) to fifty ORF contributions (over EUR 90 million in annual wages).
Please note that if multiple businesses with employees, and thus subject to municipal tax, share a business location and use the same office space, each business must pay ORF contributions individually.
Every entrepreneur is required to register with ORF using the designated form by April 15, 2024, at the latest.
