TV dealers
Under the Wireless Telegraphy Act of 1967 (as amended), you need to provide us the specified details for each sale or rental within 28 days of the transaction. This includes new or second-hand TVs, DVD/Video recorders, digital boxes, TV enabled computers and PCs with broadcast TV cards. Failure to inform us can result in a fine of up to £1,000 per offence.
You need to register with us as a TV dealer to do this.
TV Licensing will only use the information you give us to check that anyone buying TV receiving equipment holds a valid licence for their address. We will not disclose it to any other third parties without obtaining prior consent unless we are required or permitted to do so by law.
How to tell us about sales and rentals
Ask for an electronic form by emailing us at dealer.support@tvlicensing.co.uk.
Please complete the form we send you and email to tvl.dealers@tvlicensing.co.uk.
Do you need a TV Licence for your business?
You do not need a TV Licence if you are only repairing, testing or demonstrating equipment to customers.
However, if you or your staff watch or record TV in other customer areas such as a waiting room or restaurant, or in other areas of your premises, e.g. an office area or a recreational area such as a staff room, you'll need to buy a TV Licence.
