</ref> This law was written to ensure compliance with the European Convention on Transfrontier Television, which Croatia joined between 1999 and 2002.<ref name="ectt-cets-132"/> In addition to the licensing, the law regulates television advertising. Up to 9 per cent of air time on HRT may be given to advertising, with a limit of only one commercial during short breaks and no breaks during films. This is less than the limit permitted for commercial broadcasters.

The licence fee is charged to all owners of equipment capable of receiving television or radio broadcasts. It is set at 1.5 per cent of the previous year's average net salary,<ref name="croatia-law"/> which is{{when|date=March 2023}} €137 per year per household with at least one radio or television receiver. It is the main source of revenue for the national broadcaster [[Croatian Radiotelevision|Hrvatska Radiotelevizija (HRT)]], and a secondary source of income for other national and local broadcasters, which receive a minority share. Within HRT, 66 per cent of the licence fee income goes to television and 34 per cent to radio.<ref>{{cite web
