Common confusion points
Confusing this with a general Trading License; 69.7 specifically relates to liquor compliance.
Not knowing whether to use the old format or the new version of Form 69.7.
Mistaking the requirement for 'intoxicating liquor' versus just 'alcohol'.
Assuming submission to the Revenue Online Service (ROS) is enough; you must file with the Courts Service as well.
