Original Note:
The German broadcasting fee is a tax in everything but the name. The note saying it isn't is splitting hairs and repeating the statement of the very people fight against it being called a tax. The official definition matches it 100%. https://steuerzahler.de/aktion-position/gebuehren/rundfunkbeitrag/ https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tax
