How to get up to £170 TV Licence refund ahead of licence fee rise this year
UK households could be due a refund of up to £169.50 ahead of the cost of a TV Licence rising by £5 this year.
Every household in the UK is legally required to have a TV licence in order to watch or record live TV, regardless of what channel it is on.
From April, the cost of a TV Licence will rise by £5 to £174.50, as part of an agreement in 2022 that sees the licence fee increase in line with inflation each year until 2027.
However, you could be entitled to a refund on the cost of your TV Licence if you do not watch or record live TV, and don’t stream BBC iPlayer either.
You can apply for a refund if you won’t need your licence again before it expires, and you have at least one complete month left on it, due to not watching or recording live TV.
UK households could be eligible for a £159 refund on their TV........
