Tariffs

To consult our:

Please note that, under current policy, if you duly obtain your licence on your own initiative (i.e. without having been contacted by AVLA or CLA, either individually or as part of a group), you will not be required to pay licence fees for previous years. In other cases, AVLA reserves the right to request payment of licence fees for previous years.

You can easily estimate the cost of your licence using the interactive calculator in the “Get your licence” section. Simply answer the three questions on the page and the system will automatically display the applicable fees, including any discounts or concessions. The information you enter will not be recorded unless you proceed with the registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I pay less if my guesthouse only has TVs in the bedrooms?

Yes. The AVLA licence is very simple. There are two separate options, and you can select either or both depending on where audiovisual content is broadcast in your establishment. So, for instance, if you only have TVs or screens in your bedrooms, you should indicate the number of rooms and specify that there are no TVs or screens in public areas. Once you have provided some other basic information, your licence fee will be calculated, taking into account any discounts and concessions that might apply.

 

Can I find out what the AVLA licence would cost me?

The AVLA licence is based on a few simple and objective criteria: the number of bedrooms and public areas with TVs or screens, and the number of months of operation per year. Discounts and concessions will be applied automatically.

You can enter the relevant information and the system will show how much the licence would cost you, including any applicable discounts. It takes less than two minutes to get your result, and there is no commitment to buy the licence. The information you enter will not be stored unless you decide to proceed.

How has AVLA set its fees?

We have set our tariffs after extensive analysis, taking into consideration numerous factors and the views of external experts to ensure they are fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory. Our aim is to guarantee a correct remuneration for rights-holders without unduly burdening operators.

At AVLA, we firmly believe in building a positive and collaborative relationship with the hospitality sector. Our tariffs are specifically designed to be simple, accessible, easy to understand and transparent. To avoid confusion, we apply similar criteria to those currently used by other UK licensors (such as number of bedrooms). We also offer various cumulative discounts.
