I PREMISES LICENCE - REQUESTS FOR REVIEW

(i) In accordance with Schedule 3, Paragraph 10 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005, each premises licence holder must pay the annual fee by the 1st October each year. The Licensing Department by law, have to send a reminder letter out before the annual fee is due. This letter was sent out to the registered address of the premises or their legal agent during August, 2020. If people had failed to pay by 1st October, 2021, then a second letter reminding them to pay immediately was sent out. During the month of January, 2022, LSOs contacted premises who had still failed to pay. The premises that have still not paid are listed below.

Normally LSOs would visit each premises or the registered address of the premises. However, due to Covid-19 restrictions LSOs were not permitted to do this and attempts were made to either speak with the licence holder or, if this failed, a voicemail was left with the telephone number the department had on record.
