    The main issue here, is that the TV Tax Service, provided by Crapita for the Bolshevik Broadcasting Commisariat, wants everyone to pay by Diect Debit and manage their tax online.

    Not everyone wants this, yet they are being forced to do so when they pay, or pay by DD.


    That's not the main issue.

    And not even correct.


    Not a very good attempt at hijacking the thread

    You'll need to try harder.

    Even though there are no paper licences I would have expected a reminder of the DD. Have you been in touch to see what the TVL policy is on this?

    I said the same earlier

    But on the TV Tax Website, is prominantly features a link to only get your licence by email and wants your DD.

    I say, this is peoples choice.
    I am currently correctly licensed as not requiring one. As notified to the TV Tax Office.

    And if you read the TVL site you will see that despite your assertion no-one is being forced to pay by direct debit.

    You are, surprise surprise, wrong.

    Do what I do.
    Pay annually but by Card manually (CC with Cashback points, usually).
    They then have to e-mail or write asking for payment.

    Sounds like you are best switching to Rodders53 idea of paying by card - that way you get the reminder to pay rather then an annual Direct Debit payment - which since they haven't changed the amount the notification you got last time is still valid..
