Fees

You must pay the relevant fee when you submit your application. Applications are not valid until the correct fee has been received. Application fees are not refunded if an application is withdrawn or refused.

Premises licence holders must also pay an annual fee. The first annual fee is payable within 30 days of the licence being issued. After that, annual fees must be paid before the anniversary of the licence being granted. Reminder letters will be sent to licence holders.
