From September 2003, the [[Rádio e Televisão de Portugal]] (RTP) was financed through government grants and the "Taxa de Contribuição Audiovisual" (Portuguese for ''Broadcasting Contribution Tax''), charged monthly through the electricity bills.<ref>{{cite web|author=Versão pdf |url=https://dre.pt/pesquisa/-/search/656106/details/maximized |title=Lei 30/2003, 2003-08-22 - DRE |publisher=Dre.pt |date=2003-08-22 |accessdate=2021-03-15}}</ref>
