This includes recording and downloading. On any device. The licence fee is not a payment for BBC services (or any other television service), although licence fee revenue is used to fund the BBC. The requirement to hold a TV Licence and to pay a fee for it is mandated by law under the Communications Act 2003 and the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004 (as amended). It is an offence under section 363 of the Communications Act 2003 to watch TV channels on any TV service, watch live TV on streaming services, or use BBC iPlayer, on any device, without a valid TV Licence. Section 365 of that Act requires a person to whom a TV Licence is issued must pay a fee to the BBC. The amount of this fee and the ways it can be paid (as a lump sum or in instalments) is set out in the Communications (Television Licensing) Regulations 2004 (as amended). Since 1991, the BBC, in its role as the relevant licensing authority, has been responsible for collecting and enforcing the TV Licence fee. The BBC contracts companies to do this work under the BBC trade mark ‘TV Licensing’. The BBC (and contractors acting on its behalf) must comply with the law in collecting and enforcing the licence fee. The BBC Charter further requires the BBC Board to ensure that these arrangements are appropriate, proportionate and efficient.
