Common confusion points
Confusing 'Exemption' with 'Notification'; this form seeks permission (an Order), not just informing them of a plan.
Assuming it covers all Sunday service; Form 74.1 specifically mentions *afternoons* unless otherwise stated.
Thinking you must use the Revenue Online Service (ROS) for this; ROS is often used for tax/business registration, but courts handle the liquor licence exemption itself.
Not clearly differentiating between a general license holder and an applicant seeking a new license.
