Concessions

You need a TV Licence to watch or record live TV or use BBC iPlayer. Flexible payment options are available to suit your budget. More information can be found on ways to pay your TV Licence.

The Simple Payment Plan

The Simple Payment Plan was created for those in financial difficulty. Qualifying customers can choose from either a fortnightly or monthly payment option spread across 12 months, while providing flexibility if a payment is missed.

The Simple Payment Plan is only available to those that have been invited to join. You can apply online if you have:

• received a letter from the TV Licencing Board inviting you to join
• had a visit or received calling card from a TV Licencing Officer
• been referred by a debt or money advice organisation, such as CARF

Contact CARF Money Advice if you would like to discuss if the Single Payment Plan is available to you.

Further information on the Simple Payment Plan is available on the TV Licensing website.
