TV License Year on Year Billing
I received numerous text messages in August 2014 informing me my license was in arrears, and that I owed R318. I asked to see an account as I thought I was up to date with the license. I had also never received a physical account in the post. I paid the account in August

24 Jul 2015, 11:19Hello JamieDuncan75,
Dear JamieDuncan75,
Your enquiry dated 22 July 2015 regarding the penalty charges for late payment on the TV-licence with the number *** refers.
A television licence fee is payable in advance at the beginning of each licence year - in other words, on of before the annual renewal date. In the event of payment being made late, the Broadcasting Act no 4 of 1999 as amended and the Regulations under this Act 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. But then would not increase any further year on year.
The onus/responsibility rests with the holder of a television licence to renew same in good time without any prompting from the SABC.
Please settle the outstanding balance at your earliest convenience.
Should you require more information in this regard, kindly contact Customer Services on *** or e-mail: ***.
