WINE02300 - Licensing: changes in licence particulars and cancellation of licence

Changes in licensing particulars

Changes that may affect a wine producer's licence should be notified to the Excise Processing Team (EPT) in Glasgow. If necessary, the EPTwill issue an amended licence.

Cancellation

Regulations 8(1) of the Wine and Made-wine Regulations 1989 allows the Commissioners to cancel a licence if it is established that trading has ceased or that wine is not being made on licensed premises. The EPT and TAPS (Trader Accounting Payment System) team in Cumbernauld should be notified.

Regulation 8(2) allows the Commissioners to revoke a licence where there is reasonable cause, provided we give three months' written notice. However, cancelling a wine producer's licence should not be undertaken lightly and advice should be sought from the EPT or  Alcohol Policy Mailbox if you are considering this.
