A relevant person shall ensure that no alcohol is sold or supplied for consumption on or off the premises for a price which is less than the permitted price. In this condition:
(a) permitted price is the price found by applying the formula P = D + (D x V) where:
(i) P is the permitted price;
(ii)
D is the amount of duty chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the duty were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol; and
(iii) V is the rate of value added tax chargeable in relation to the alcohol as if the value added tax were charged on the date of the sale or supply of the alcohol.
(b) duty is to be construed in accordance with the Alcoholic Liquor Duties Act 1979;
(c) relevant person means, in relation to premises in respect of which there is in force a premises licence:
(i) the holder of the premises licence;
(ii) the designated premises supervisor (if any) in respect of such a licence;or
(iii) the personal licence holder who makes or authorises a supply of alcohol under such a licence;
(d) relevant person means, in relation to premises in respect of which there is in force a club premises certificate, any member or officer of the club present on the premises in a capacity which enable the member or officer to prevent the supply in question; and
(e) value added tax means value added tax charged in accordance with the Value Added Tax Act 1994.Where the permitted price would not be a whole number of pennies, the permitted price shall be taken to be the price rounded up to the nearest penny. Where the permitted price on a day (the first day) would be different from the permitted price on the next day (the second day) as a result of a change to the rate of duty or value added tax,the permitted price which would apply on the first day applies to sales or supplies of alcohol which take place before the expiry of the period of fourteen (14) days beginning on the second day.
