00:00 In the UK, there is a TV tax since 2010. It has been £145 per year. Its collection ensures
00:14 that the BBC's published television channels operate ad-free. All households are required
00:23 to pay a licence fee, regardless of the method of receiving a television signal via antenna,
00:31 cable, satellite or internet. All TV channels are required to provide buyers' addresses
00:40 to a special database that the BBC uses to send letters to tax evaders. If letters are
00:49 ignored, special inspectors, who do not have the right to inspect the home without the
00:57 owner's permission, travel from house to house and, often, the matter comes to the
01:03 court, which can issue a search warrant and then find the defaulter.
