CIDER02300 - Registration: changes in registration particulars and cancellation of registration

Changes in registration particulars

Changes that may affect a cider maker's registration should be notified to the Excise Processing Teams (EPT) in Glasgow. If necessary, the EPT will issue an amended certificate of registration.

Cancellation

Regulations 8(1) of the Cider and Perry Regulations 1989 allows the Commissioners to cancel a registration if it is established that trading has ceased or that cider is not being made on registered premises. The EPT and TAPS (Trader Accounting Payment System) team in Cumbernauld should be notified.

Regulation 8(2) allows the Commissioners to revoke a registration where there is reasonable cause, provided we give three months' written notice. However, cancelling a cider maker's registration should not be undertaken lightly and advice should be sought from the EPT or AHM Advisory and Litigation team if you are considering this.
