Final Reminder to Pay TV Licence

SIX PACK

Have a Letter in address im presently living & warning letter is for previous tenant the Fee is €160 :eek:
My question is How the hell did they come up with this Extortinate amount?
Along with every other Tax we have to pay in this Banana Republic you wouldn't have a pot to piss in at end of the month

The purpose of taxation is to provide for government spending without inflation. The provision of public goods such as roads and other infrastructure, schools, a social safety net, health care for the indigent, national defense, law enforcement, and a courts system increases the economic welfare of society if the benefit outweighs the costs involved.

Banana republic is a term in political science for a politically unstable country whose economy is largely dependent on the export of a single, limited-resource product, e.g. bananas. It typically has stratified social classes, including a large, impoverished working class and a ruling plutocracy that comprises the elites of business, politics, and the military. This politico-economic oligarchy controls the primary-sector productions and thereby exploits the country's economy

Hope I cleared that up for you

Well Maybe €160 is probably Loose change to you. But not the majority of us. Smart Asre

Bepolite

I presume it's the amount a TV license is. Why are you opening other people's mail?

SIX PACK

I didnt open the mail so dont presume anything

Where did you Copy/Paste that from ?

Do you have a TV?
Yes = you need a TV licence, so buy one.
No = you don't need one so don't buy one.

I'll presume what I like thanks. Either it's your mail or it's not. You shouldn't be reading other people's mail. Send it on to the Landlord or if you're the landlord send it on to the forwarding address.

If you have a TV buy a license, simples.

Just pay it by Direct Debit maybe? 13.30 a month.

Where would it state on an envelope the amount owed on any bill or debt? Or the fact its a warning for final payment

Anyway, way off topic, the TV licence is for the house you live in. When you move, you can transfer that to the new address. The bill is not really for the old tenant, they have his name because they got it from somewhere before

So the household is liable (i.e you if you live there) if you don't have a licence already

€13 monthly if you can't afford €160 up front. That's only a few bottles of mi-wadi

Hes not liable. The letter should have been sent back as no such person is at that address.

I would be annoyed if I had to spend even a tenner on rte. :pac:

Especially when you read headlines like this
Ryan Tubridy was the highest paid presenter in RTÉ for 2012 with total earnings of €723,000, up 12% on 2011 :eek:

Laughing all the way to the bank

Actually, TV license warnings generally come addressed as "to the occupier". So the OP didn't open another person's post. (At least knowingly)

How do you know that he / she doesn't have a TV license? Let alone a TV in the first place.

Sure they do, that's the second step once they get a name from somewhere.
