PPL PRS announce new measures due to COVID-19

PPL PRS, the UK music licensing company, has announced the following measures to support businesses as a result of COVID-19:

• Not charging customers for their music usage during the period that they are closed (temporarily or permanently) due to COVID-19;
• Changes to payment policies to introduce more flexibility, including deferred payments for customers during this difficult period; and
• Temporary suspension of late payment surcharges.

If your business is permanently closed due to the impact of COVID-19, PPL PRS is offering a pro-rata refund of the licence.

If your business is temporarily closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak and you have already paid for your licence for this period, PPL PRS will look at the possibility of issuing credit or a refund.

Should you wish to discuss any of this with PPL PRS direct, they can be contacted on 0800 0720 808.
