Queensland liquor commissioner allows hardship-based fee instalments
Source: OLGR Queensland
Queensland’s Commissioner for Liquor and Gaming may approve instalments for annual liquor licence fees when a licensee cannot pay in full by the due date because of a natural disaster or personal or financial hardship. The option applies only to assessed fees above $1,000; approved fees are paid in four quarterly instalments, beginning by 31 July.
Eligible licensees can seek a payment schedule rather than face the consequences of missing the annual fee deadline.
