You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record television programmes as they're being shown on TV in a shop or office. This includes the use of devices such as a TV, computer, mobile phone, games console, digital box or DVD/VHS recorder.
Usually you only need one TV Licence to cover your shop or office. However, in some cases certain areas may need a separate TV Licence. Please check below to ensure you’re correctly licensed.
It costs £142.50 for colour and £48.00 for a black and white TV Licence.
