Annual liquor licence fees
All liquor licences in Queensland are subject to a base fee plus any additional fee calculated by the risk criteria. The risk criteria relate to trading hours, service practices and compliance history. Annual fees are subject to CPI and must be paid by the due date or the licence will be automatically suspended, and then cancelled after 28 days if the fee remains outstanding.
If your liquor licence is cancelled, your gaming licence will be automatically cancelled. If this occurs, gaming activities must cease. Your licensed monitoring operator will be advised to disable all gaming machines. All hotel operating authorities or club entitlements will be forfeited to the state, with no opportunity for redress. If this occurs, licensees have to reapply for a gaming licence and purchase new operating authorities or entitlements at market rates.
Annual fees guidelines
Guideline 54: Provision of prepared food fee - self assessment table
All relevant licensed venues have the choice of providing ‘prepared food’ or paying an increased licence fee if prepared food is not available. The provision of prepared food fee has replaced the provision of meals risk criterion in the annual licence fee self-assessment table for licensees.
