You will not be able to make any payments online or by phone on Wednesday 13 August, 9.30am to 3.30pm, while we carry out some important work on our payment system.

This means you won't be able to pay for things like parking permits, parking tickets (PCNs), council tax and rent through our website, automated payment line (020 7527 8000) or customer services number (020 7527 2000).

We are very sorry if this affects you. If you must make a payment, please try to do it on another day if you can or after 3.30pm on Wednesday 13 August.

Exemptions and reductions

Exemptions 

Two categories of premises are exempt: 

  • premises only authorised to sell alcohol between 00.01am and 06.00am hours on New Year's Day
  • premises providing overnight accommodation where alcohol can only be sold for consumption on the premises to persons staying at the premises. 

The levy doesn’t apply to Temporary Event Notices.

Reductions

There is a 30% reduction to members of our Late-Night Levy Best Practice Scheme.

Varying your premises licence to avoid the levy

You can apply for a minor variation to amend your licence so that the hours you are permitted to sell alcohol end at or before midnight.
