Tax Requirement Rules
If you are applying for a licence for the first time, you will not need to complete a tax check.
You should make yourself aware of your responsibility to be properly registered for tax in the future. You will be asked to confirm that you have done this when you submit your application.
The Council will be required, on renewal of your licence, to check you are appropriately registered for tax through a tax check code supplied by HMRC.
