Licensing Act 2003 - Annual fee for premises licence to sell alcohol

If you wish to pay the annual fee for your premises licence / club premises certificate to sell/supply alcohol you will need to have with you the invoice number and amount due. You can make this payment at your convenience by calling our automated payment line - 01629 761295. You will be asked to enter the details - the invoice number and amount, and then your payment details.

Non-payment of the annual fee for your premises licence can lead to suspension of the licence until the invoice has been paid. If the licence is suspended then you will not be authorised to make any sales of alcohol, and to do so would be acting illegally.

If you experience any difficulty in making payment, email the licensing team at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and someone will contact you to assist.
