Music Licensing
A consortium of companies and organisations, including ACS, has won a case against PPL regarding the rates payable for playing in-store music.
PPL brought in a new scheme of rates payable in 2005, but following the legal case, new, lower rates will apply.
These are based on the pre-2005 tariffs, which are reinstated but with a 10% increase and RPI-adjustment. It has also ordered that the lower rates should take effect retrospectively back to 2005. Making back-claims for these payments is straightforward if you follow this guide.
