TV Licence

If you own, buy or rent a television set you are required by law to

purchase a TV licence. The cost of the TV License goes towards the  

running of BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation), as BBC channels do

not generate revenue from other sources, such as advertisements, like

other broadcasters do.

You can buy or renew a TV licence online at or at any of the 16,000

PayPoint outlets across the UK.

You will find PayPoint outlets in newsagents, convenience stores,

supermarkets and petrol stations.

It is illegal not to own a TV licence if you are using a television set. If

you do not have a TV licence you can be prosecuted and fined up to £1000.
