A television licence secures your legal viewing for an entire year and is payable in advance. 

  • First-time applicants for a television licence must pay the full annual fee of R265.
  • Renewals must be made annually before the licence expires.
  • Renewal payments may be spread throughout the year at R28 per month.
  • Monthly payments are subject to a small premium for the convenience. The total cost is therefore R336 per year.

Forgetting to renew your TV licence means a penalty of 10% per month to a maximum of 100% per annum. So, paying by annual debit order is the most convenient way to ensure that this never happens.
