Help with paying your TV Licence

Did you know that you might be able to get help with paying your TV Licence through the Simple Payment Plan?

With a referral, you can choose from either a fortnightly or monthly payment plan that spreads the cost of a TV Licence over 12 months. This means you make smaller payments more frequently, helping you to manage your money. Payments work out at around £3 per week, so it is the most affordable way to pay for a TV Licence.

Any not-for-profit organisation or local authority debt advice team providing free, confidential, and independent money advice can refer you to join the TV Licensing Simple Payment Plan.

If you would like to speak to someone about your finances, and ask about a referral, you can call the Citizens Advice debt helpline on 0800 240 4420.

Other TV Licence concessions

There are other TV licence concessions which you might be eligible for.

If you are aged 75 or over, and receive Pension Credit, you can apply for a free TV Licence.

If you are blind or severely sight impaired, you can apply for a 50 per cent concession for a TV Licence online.
