Any person or entity that has in its possession and/or uses a TV set is liable to pay a TV License. A licence remains payable, irrespective of whether a television set in one’s possession is used or not.Forgetting to renew your TV licence means a penalty of 10% per month to a maximum of 100% per annum.

TV License Fees are 265.00 per annum for a domestic, business, dealer, lessor or mobile television licence, and R74.00 per annum for a concessionary TV licence. A domestic licence may be paid in monthly instalments of R28.00 per month. However, a R74.00 concessionary licence is payable only in a lump sum – not in monthly or quarterly instalments.

For pensioners instead of paying R265.00 as a standard fee per annum, you will pay R74.00 per annum, thereby saving R191.00. But you should also note that the Corporation expects that while other citizens are allowed to pay monthly after the first annual payment that they make, as a beneficiary of a concessionary TV licence, you can only pay a lump sum of the money annually.

If you have any further questions to ask, it is advisable that you put forth a call to the SABC office on 011 330 9555, or you send them an e-mail with this address: tvlic.info@sabc.co.za.
