Regulatory fees
Service providers must pay a fee to ATVOD in relation to each On Demand Programme Service they provide and will receive invoices with respect to each notified service. The fees charged by ATVOD are the subject of a public consultation each year and are approved by Ofcom.
A Consultation on fees for the year 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2013 began on 31 January 2012 and closes on 14 March 2012. Details are available here
The structure and level of the fee for the year to 31 March 2012 ("Year Two") was the subject of a joint ATVOD/Ofcom consultation which closed on 1 April 2011. Details of the consultation are available in the News & consultations section of this website.
On 27 June 2011 Ofcom approved a progressive three band fee structure based on the turnover of the service provider, and three concessionary rates for non-commercial, micro scale and small scale providers. A summary of the Year Two fee tariff is published on this page along with a full statement on Year Two fees. Please note that there was a minor error in the tariff table originally published on 28 June 2011, this has been corrected in the documents published opposite.
Service providers will be charged the Super A Rate unless they demonstrate that they are eligible for a lower rate, or for a concesionary rate. Details on how to apply for lower rates and concessionary rates are published on this page.
ATVOD is currently working with members of the Industry Forum to consider options for a long term fee structure for future years. Minutes of the working party established for this purpose are published on this page.
