HI all I have just been phoned by PPL. I knew nothing of this licenece requirement just like other people on this forum I currently pay for a PRS licence now that they reduced their minimum fee. Before they reduced the fee, which was a ridiculous amount for a small business who has no customers visiting, I refused to pay for me and my wife to listen to the radio especially when somene doing the same work from home does not need to pay. The calculatuion system was also ridiculously complicated. It seems that PPL have now jumped on the bandwaggon of targeting small businesses. They have quoted me £71 plus a penalty totalling £130. this is a lot of money for a small business especially when we thought we had sorted this by paying around £50 to PRS. If PPL force me to pay I will take out the radio as before and then PPL and PRS will get nothing. I also question how much of this money, if I pay any of course, actually goes to the artists we listen to. Why don't they get together and make a simple low fee for small businesses (les than 5 people say) who have no customer face and inform all businesses of the need, if there really is one. This would probably result in increasing the total revenue considerably as there would not be the people who are unaware of the need for the licence and other people would bring the radios back into the work place because they could afford it!!
