A TV Licence is required if you operate or have, on any premise owned or occupied by you, TV sets or any equipment that is capable of receiving broadcasting services.
The TV Licence is valid for a calendar year, from 1 January to 31 December and is renewable on a yearly basis thereafter. The annual licence fee is S$110.
For new TV Licences that are applied for in any part of the year after 1 January, the licence fee payable will be pro-rated from the date of application to 31 December. If the TV Licence is taken up between 1 November and 31 December, the licence fee payable will be pro-rated to 31 December of the following year, i.e. it will be inclusive of the following year's licence fee as well. This is to minimise the inconvenience to licence applicants.
You can apply for a TV Licence at any Singapore Post Office. Please complete the TV Licence Application Form. Applicants must produce their identity cards or passports at the point of application.
In Singapore, vehicle owners are able to install TV sets and radios in their vehicles. However, you would need to apply for the Vehicle TV Licence or Vehicle Radio Licence if you would like to install TV sets or radio receivers in your vehicle respectively.
