How does PPL calculate costs?

PPL strives to maximise earnings from licensing our members’ rights and to distribute those earnings in the most efficient, accurate, prompt and fair manner possible.

We are owned by our members and do not retain a profit for our services. After running costs, all revenue is distributed to our performer and recording rightsholder members.

Costs are calculated and deducted in accordance with PPL’s General Policy on Deductions which has been approved by PPL’s Annual General Meeting. More detailed rules are set out in PPL’s Distribution Rules which are approved by PPL’s Board of Directors.

More information about PPL’s costs as a whole can be found in PPL’s annual financial statements and transparency reports which are audited, presented to PPL’s AGM and published on PPL’s website each year.

For further information about the deductions that relate to your individual UK payments please call PPL’s Member Services team on +44 (0)20 8068 1054 or email memberservices@ppluk.com.

If you are a collective management organisation with whom PPL has a representation agreement, please contact your designated account executive.
