59A—Licence fee payable on grant of licence
(1) On the grant of a
licence, a licence fee becomes payable to the Commissioner by the licensee.
(3) In relation to the
licence fee in respect of a licence—
(a) the
amount of the licence fee is a proportion of the annual fee for the licence,
being the proportion that the number of months in the period from the grant of
the licence until the end of the current annual fee period bears to
12 months (with part of a month being counted as a full month); and
(b) the
licence fee is payable within 28 days after the grant of the licence; and
(c) if
the trading hours or conditions of the licence are varied, or circumstances
vary, in respect of trade during the current annual fee period such that the
licence fee paid is less than the licence fee that would have been payable had
the variations been taken into account in the calculation of the fee, the
Commissioner may recalculate the licence fee and, by written notice, require
the licensee to pay the difference on or before a date specified in the
notice; and
(d) if
the licensee fails to pay the licence fee, or an amount under
paragraph (c), within the period allowed, the licence is suspended until
the fee or amount is paid; and
(e) the
Commissioner must notify the licensee in writing of the suspension of the
licence.
