Its also the sort of place that has been selling small amounts of wine for years now. No longer. Are we now to believe that the next nearest store that can afford the €2000 has been deemed to be more useful by Revenue. This messing around with the Licence is discriminatory, insensitive, favours large operations and will lead to a bleaker retail landscape.firstpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11190691460610534516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7780920651237433249.post-13938567342897650362011-08-08T16:23:49.274+01:002011-08-08T16:23:49.274+01:00I have been hearing the same story from quite a si...I have been hearing the same story from quite a significant number of my customers. I looked into the matter for some of them who felt that surely there must be some mistake, and I came upon an amount of contradictory information and vagueness. What it amounts to in reality is that once again the smaller business will be the ones to suffer due to being issued with an incorrect licence in the first place. They have been selling wine to complement the range of foods that they stock and would need to sell a significantly larger quantity of wine to make back this extra €2,000. Some of these shopkeepers have now decided not to renew their licence and to discontinue stocking wine. That's another nail in the coffin, so much for helping small enterprises!Mary Pawlenoreply@blogger.com
