Refund of licence fees

Licensees are required to apply to the Commissioner, who on receipt of the application, will refund to the licensee an amount that, in the Commissioner’s opinion, relates to the period between the day the licence is surrendered and the day the licence would have expired.

• the name of the licensee;
• the address of the place of business of the licensee;
• the address of the licensee (for an individual); and
