The annual TV licence fee is currently set at £169.50, but there are people who don't have to pay for a TV licence or can get it cheaper.
The current annual TV licence fee stands at £169.50, but not everyone is required to pay this amount. A TV licence is necessary if you watch or record live TV on any channel, regardless of the device used - be it a television, computer, laptop, tablet, or mobile phone. If found watching live TV without a licence, individuals could face a fine of up to £1,000.
But, if you're watching a live show through these services, then a TV licence is necessary. That being said, there are several people who are exempt from paying for a TV licence, or can get it at a reduced rate, reports Lancs Live. Pension Credit is a benefit that supplements your income if you're over the state pension age and on a low income. The standard minimum guarantee part of Pension Credit is currently valued at £201.05 a week for single individuals or £306.85 a week for couples.
