Manufacturer's Licence

First application for a Manufacturer's Licence

Please submit your completed Application Form to the National Excise Licence Office.

The application should be signed by:

• the licensee, if a sole trader
• one of the partners, if a partnership
• the company secretary or a director of the company, in the case of an incorporated firm.

When Revenue has processed your application, a copy will be forwarded for approval to the Revenue Office, where your premises is located. If your application is approved, we will issue you with a First Time Application Notice. This notice invites you to complete your application and pay for your licence.

All licensees require tax clearance and, in certain cases, a: 

• Short Certificate of incorporation
• Certificate of Registration of Business Name.

Revenue will automatically check your tax clearance status before issuing the licence.
