Food-Primary

The branch charges a non-refundable application fee of $475.00 to apply for a food-primary licence.

If your application for a food-primary licence is approved, you will also need to pay an annual licence fee of $475.00 for your first year. After that, the annual fee will depend on the amount you spend on liquor bought from the Liquor Distribution Branch during the prior calendar year:

Annual Liquor Purchases from the Liquor Distribution Branch Fee
$12,500 or less $275
over $12,500 and up to $20,000 $550
over $20,000 and up to $45,000 $825
over $45,000 and up to $100,000 $1100
over $100,000 and up to $250,000 $1200
over $250,000 $1400

The full Licence Fee Schedule (LCLB010) for all licence classes is available on-line. We charge an additional $200.00 if you renew your food-primary licence after its expiry date, provided we receive your payment within 30 days. Licences may not be renewed after 30 days.

We encourage you to renew your licence on-line. Please call our Liquor Licence Renewal Help Desk – 250 387-9144 (Victoria) or 1-888 544-0443 (toll free) for more information.
