The penalty fees they charge

Are you guys aware that the SABC - when your license fee is due for R260 per annum they are charging extra R30 per month for each month you are late paying - that i would call a rather excessive interest rate <br> <br> Surely this is just absolute *******ion especially seeing most of us who have tv dont need the SABC

Hello Webwizz,

Dear Webwizz,

Your enquiry dated 5 November 2015 regarding the penalties charged on the TV-licence with the number *** has reference.

In the event of payment being made late, the Broadcasting Act no 4 of 1999 as amended which governs the activities of the SABC provides for a penalty of 10% of the annual fee [R26.50] for every month or part thereof that payment is received late, to a maximum of 100% per annum. If left unpaid the monthly penalties result in the licence fee doubling after ten months, but then does not increase any further year on year.

Should you require any further information in this regard, kindly contact Customer Services on *** or e-mail: ***.

Regards,

TEAM TV-LICENCES
