Enforcement fees

Every year, we collect an enforcement fee from each person holding an alcohol serving licence valid for an indefinite period. The fee is charged for each location.

An enforcement fee is set for the previous calendar year’s purchases calculated as 100% alcohol as follows:

Volume of alcohol served per year

  • less than 100 litres: EUR 105.
  • more than 100 litres but less than 2,000 litres: EUR 210.
  • more than 2,000 litres but less than 10,000 litres: EUR 420.
  • 10,000 litres or more: EUR 790.

We charge an annual fee for enforcing extended licensing hours:

  • if licensing hours are extended to 04:00 on more than 180 days a year, the annual fee is EUR 760
  • otherwise the fee is EUR 380.

We invoice the enforcement fees for alcohol serving licence every calendar year no later than 30 April for licences that have been in force 1 April. We do not collect the fees for the first calendar year.
