LIQUOR LICENSING ACT 1997 - SECT 59A

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.

        (4)         In this section—

"annual fee period"—see section 50A.
