S.L. 128.1 Art. 6Licence fee to be based on rental value of premises.

(1) Where the fee in respect of the issue or renewal of a licence is based on the rental value of any premises, such rental value shall be ascertained by the Commissioner who, for that purpose, may require the applicant to produce a declaration signed by himself and by the landlord or administrator of the premises, showing the amount of rent payable in respect thereof.

(2) It shall be lawful for the Commissioner to require such other evidence or to take such other measures at the expense of the applicant, as he may deem fit, for the purpose of ascertaining such rental value.

(3) If the applicant makes a false declaration, the licence shall not be granted or, as the case may be, renewed. If the falsity becomes known to the Commissioner after the grant or the renewal, the licence shall be avoided. Any refusal of the grant or renewal or the voidance of the licence under this regulation shall be without prejudice to any penalty to which the person making the false declaration may be liable.

(4) Where only a part of any premises is used for the trade or business covered by the licence, the rental value of the premises shall be deemed for the purposes of this regulation to be the rental value of the part so used only and the relative fee shall be computed accordingly.
