</ref> Until 2005 it was collected monthly as part of the electricity bill. From November 2005, [[Macedonian Radio-Television]] (MRT) collected the fee until this responsibility was taken over by the Public Revenue Office. The fee was paid per household, with exemptions for households not covered by a broadcasting signal, and households of people with severe vision or hearing impairment. Hotels and motels were charged one broadcasting fee for every five rooms, legal persons and office space owners paid for one broadcasting fee for each 20 employees or other users of the office space, and owners of catering and other public facilities paid per television set. MRT also received income from advertising and sponsorship.

In January 2017, the licence fee was abolished. MRT, Macedonian Broadcasting and the Agency for Audio and Audiovisual Media Services are now financed directly from the Budget of the Republic of North Macedonia.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mrt.com.mk/node/43078 |title=МРТ |access-date=10 August 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180811032301/http://www.mrt.com.mk/node/43078 |archive-date=11 August 2018 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
