If you have both a PPL and PRS for Music account (for example, if you are both a performer and a songwriter) then you may receive payments from both companies in respect of the same licensees and licence periods. However, these payments will not necessarily be comparable or in the same proportions.
PPL and PRS for Music often license the same businesses but our tariff rates may be different. Many, but not all, of these licensees will tell both PPL and PRS for Music about the music they have played.
PPL and PRS for Music separately identify (match) the recordings that are used by their licensees and each has its own distribution policy.
PPL is currently working with PRS for Music to see how we can align our internal processes, leading to more consistent results.
