AI Summary of 122. Permit and licence procedure.

The Revenue Commissioners are mandated to issue amusement machine permits and licences upon receipt of an application and associated duty payment. These permits apply to specified public locations, with provisions allowing for amendments to extend coverage to additional locations upon request.

Importantly, from 1 July 2000, the issuance or renewal of any permit is contingent upon the provision of a valid tax clearance certificate as stipulated in section 1094 of the Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997. This regulatory requirement underscores the necessity for compliance with tax obligations prior to the granting of permits and licences.
