Refunds on TV licences start today

Starting today, Singapore residents can look forward to receiving refunds for their television licence fees from the Media Development Authority (MDA).

Cheques will be mailed in batches to households, businesses (including hotels, offices and retail outlets), vehicle owners and broadcast equipment dealers that have paid for their TV licences for this year. The refunds are expected to be fully issued by 30 April.

Licencees who have any outstanding balance with the MDA will have that amount deducted from the refund that is issued to them, while those who have settled the licence fee for this year will receive the refund in full.

Further outstanding amounts that are not cleared by the refund will be accompanied with payment reminders, and licencees are advised to settle the outstanding fees by 31 May 2011. TV licence fees can be paid for at any AXS station or SingPost branch.

You can check the status of your licence account with the MDA using your SingPass at http://mdaonline.mda.gov.sg.
