4 Application fees generally

(1) The application fees payable for the purposes of the Act are the fees specified in Schedule 1 (except as provided by clause 5).

(2) The amount of the fee payable for an application is the amount specified under the heading “Total” in relation to the application concerned.

(3) If an application specified in Schedule 1 (other than an application for a limited licence (single function)) is made by means of an electronic system approved by the Authority, the amount specified under the heading “Processing component” in respect of the application is reduced by 10% and the total amount payable under this clause is reduced accordingly.

(4) If an application—

(a) is refused by the Authority, or

(b) is granted by the Authority but is subsequently withdrawn by the applicant before the licence or other authorisation concerned takes effect, or

(c) is treated by the Authority as having been withdrawn,

the fee that has been paid in connection with the application is to be refunded to the applicant, except for any amount specified under the heading “Processing component” (which is taken to be a fee to cover the costs incurred by the Authority in processing the application concerned).

(5) If an application for a producer/wholesaler licence is made in conjunction with an application for a special drink on-premises authorisation but the authorisation is not granted, the applicant may vary the application so that it only relates to a producer/wholesaler licence (in which case the full producer/wholesaler licence fee specified in Schedule 1 is taken to apply).
