The "TV Licence Fee" in the UK funds the BBC. It currently costs £135.50 (about US$270) per year, and every household which own a TV set has to have one. Not having a valid TV licence is a
criminal (not civil) offence, the penalty for which is a statutory £1000 fine. It's free for people aged 75 or over.
