If you're hoping to stop paying your BBC TV licence, you might be in one of the groups which can.

The price of the BBC TV licence went up this year but you could get your money back and save £174. Maybe you don't need it anymore and this means you may be able to claim a refund when you cancel.

On April 1, the BBC annual licence fee increased by £5 from £169.90.

You're legally required to have a TV licence if you use live TV or record on any channel from ITV to Channel 4 or BBC iPlayer. You'll only be eligible for a refund if you no longer use the service.

For example, if you're moving to an address which already has a TV licence - you won't need to get a new one.

If you're permanently moving out of the country, you'll also be able to cancel.

Another thing to bear in mind is that over-75s get a free TV licence if you receive Pension Credit. If you're living in a residential care home or sheltered accommodation, you may also be eligible for a refund.

This is because you would benefit from a concessionary TV licence which costs £7.50 per room, flat or bungalow.

If you only use streaming services which don't require a TV licence, you don't need to pay for one.

For example, if you only use Netflix, Amazon Prime, ITVX, Disney Plus or any other streaming services, you don't need a TV licence.

To make a refund, you can make a claim online via TV Licensing's refund page.

If you should have a TV license and don't, you could be hit with a £1000 find.
