We would like to inform you of the upcoming changes to the TV Licence fee, effective from Tuesday 1st April 2025. The annual cost of a standard colour TV Licence will increase to £174.50. The TV Licence fee is determined and set by the UK Government; this adjustment is in line with the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) inflation rate.
Key Points:
- Standard Colour TV Licence: The new annual fee will be £174.50.
- Free TV Licence for Over 75s: The BBC will continue to provide a free TV Licence to anyone aged 75 and over who is receiving Pension Credit.
- Discount for Blind or Severely Sight Impaired Individuals: Eligible individuals will continue to receive a 50% discount, making the cost £87.25 per year.
- Accommodation for Residential Care (ARC) Concessionary Licence: The cost remains unchanged at £7.50.
Additionally, the Simple Payment Plan continues to support customers in financial difficulty by offering flexible payment options. Customers can choose from fortnightly or monthly payment plans that spread the cost of a licence over 12 months. This way of paying ensures that people are appropriately supported so they can legally access TV services. For more information, please visit TV Licensing’s Simple Payment Plan page.
