The following email was prepared by my Office Manager, John Saunders, this morning to give details regarding TV and Radio Licences – any queries please email him on johns@softrite.co.zw

As there appears to be some confusion regarding  the various fees payable I quote below the relevant portion of Statutory Instrument 19/2009 which sets the various fees currently payable:-

 3. The fee payable for a licence issued to a listener for a receiver in terms of the licences regulations, or for the renewal of such a licence, shall be—

(a) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound-rural), US$10;

(b) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound-urban), US$20;

(c) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound and television), US50

(d) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound-business premises), US50;

(e) in the case of a listeners' licence (television-business premises), US100;

(f) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound-private vehicle), US30;

(g) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound-employer-owned vehicle), US80;

(h) in the case of a listeners' licence (sound and television vehicle), US100;

(i) in the case of a listeners' concessionary licence, nil.

NOTES

1.      Licences can be purchased from ZBC Pockets Hill, Zimpost Offices and the ZBC Licence Inspectors currently patrolling a number of  Shopping Centre Car Parks.

2.      As a matter of practice Zimpost now requires persons purchasing a vehicle listeners licence to produce the relevant registration book in order to assess the correct fee payable

3.      As from October 2012 listeners concessionary licences now apply to persons aged 65 or more( previously age was 75). Concessionary licences are only issued at ZBC Pockets Hill on production of one’s ID and a photo copy thereof.

4.      A television licence includes a sound (radio) licence.

5.      Domestic quarters are not covered by  the employers listeners licence and need a separate licence.
