TV Licence bafflement

Hang on what. I go to buy a TV License for the first time in years (Doctor & Donna 🤓) and they seem to want me to pay for a whole year by April?

What, why? Why is it like tax years? No. I’m not paying over £50 in December just for Doctor Who. What’s going on with it? Why are they charging me for a year when it’s not a year?

To be clear: I know the legal requirements for a TV Licence and am very clear to not legally need one ie no broadcast TV or iPlayer. Until now, when the good Doctor nearly lured me in. But I just can’t justify this if it’s charging me a year by April.

How can they prove anything?

They can't - not from iPlayer usage. But the wording is pretty misleading.
