Original Note:
NNN. The BBC licence fee is a tax, required to be paid by anyone who watches live broadcasting (even if not by the BBC) under threat of criminal prosecution. Outsourcing some enforcement powers to the BBC doesn’t change that. The ONS officially categorised it as a tax in 2006. https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldselect/ldbbc/128/128i.pdf
