Licensing fees are set by the Secretary of State and are based on the 'rateable value' band of your premises.
Check your rateable value on your business rates invoice or check the Valuation Office Agency rating list.
In addition to licensing fees, you will need to pay annual maintenance fees, which are also based on the rateable value of a premises.
Fees are payable by cheque to 'City of York Council'.
