Renew now and save £3.50 off TV licence fee

Date published: 15 March 2018


Households that have TV licences that expire on 31 March can save £3.50 by renewing promptly before 1 April.

On 1 April, the cost of a colour licence will rise by £3.50 to £150.50. The cost of a black and white licence will rise from £49.50 to £50.50.

Paymnets can be spread via Direct Debit or weekly cash payments at PayPoint outlets.

The Government is responsible for setting the level of the licence fee, and in 2016 announced that it would rise in line with inflation for five years from 1 April 2017.
