[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 773013, member: 310216"] Yes, that's correct, it is included with your tax d'habitation and you must declare that you have no receiving equipment. (apparently you no longer pay this tax once you reach 60 so I'm now exempt). It beats me why the (UK) government doesn't just introduce an extra charge for the licence when you purchase a new TV. Surely no-one would moan about paying another £5 when they change TV's? Given how often people either upgrade their TV's or buy an extra telly nowadays, the BBC funding could be recovered quite quickly and become an ongoing revenue stream. It might give some incentive to the BBC to produce some content worthy of buying a new TV to watch it on. [/QUOTE]
