On 23 June 1995, the National Broadcasting Council issued a regulation under Section 48 (2) of the Polish Broadcasting Act of 29 December 1992, introducing new licence fees for radio and television sets.

This supersedes the Broadcasting Fees Regulation of 21 July 1993, as amended on 28 October 1994.

When the new regulation comes into force on 1 January 1996, there will be a monthly licence fee of 2.40 Zlotys on radios, and a fee of 7 Zlotys on television sets or both.

Modes and methods of payment are also regulated, and certain groups are exempted.
