The Broadcasting Act 2009 does not make any statutory provision for refunds. However, An Post, who act as my issuing agent for licence fee collection, will refund customers in circumstances where there are two licences purchased in error for a single premises.
In addition, An Post also refund recipients of a Department of Social Protection Free TV Licence who receive their free licence in the month their paid TV Licence expires and who have purchased a TV Licence because the TV Licence database has not been updated at the time of purchase.
