For each individual production process that requires verification by Revenue, the applicant must pay the relevant fee.

| Distillation |
€250 |
| Maturation |
€250 |
| Blending, bottling and labelling |

For example, a facility where brewing, fermentation and distillation takes place will pay a total of €750 for verification. A facility engaged solely in the final bottling stage will pay €250. If all production stages take place at the facility the total verification fee will be €1,250.
If processes occur in different locations, you must submit a separate application form for each facility. (For example, a trader that blends at one facility and bottles at another facility). You must also pay a separate fee for each process at each premises.
Revenue will advise traders when and how to make payment.
