Where is that? We have a TV license in the UK but if you don't use it to watch live TV you don't have to pay it. You just fill out a form on their website to exempt yourself.

In Slovakia you had to pay fee for RTVS (national radio and television) if you had electricity at home. As of 06/30/2023, this fee is no more.

It's in South Africa. You can't legally buy a TV without showing your TV license here.

Luckily this does not apply to computer monitors although there are some in our government who want it to be an obligatory national tax instead - due to widespread non-compliance. The fees support a bloated and corrupt nationalised public broadcaster.

Here's me about to fill out that form.

I don't know much about it, but I've heard of the infamous NHK tv guys in Japan. They apparently go around knocking doors asking for the tv fee.
