If Im on the wrong forum I apologise, but Im now at a loss with Revenue regarding renewal of my pub licence so if anyone has any experience I will explain in full then.
 
You need professional advice IMO and you'll need to provide rather more detail than you've supplied here.
 
Licences can be applied for online, and are just a formality assuming all is in order (taxes paid/filed etc). If not, you need an advisor - it used to be situation that an agreed timetable was set out and adhered to, but practice may have changed over last c10 years !
 
7 day licences are renewed every September in the local District Court. It is a very organised process with several key documents required, such as fire safety certs, proof of advertisement etc. One of the essential documents is a Tax Clearance Certificate ("TCC")

In order to get your TCC you need your tax returns up to date, and your taxes paid up to date. If you have fallen into arrears with your tax payments you can negotiate an instalment arrangement, and then obtain your TCC.

Obtaining a TCC should be routine work for your own accountant.

You don't need a court certificate ( to go to court) just for an annual renewal unless there has been a change in the licence of some sort, change in ownership, licence lapsed etc. For a normal renewal you should be able to apply directly to the Excise dept of Revenue or online through ROS. If you are having difficulties renewing, it implies some issue is unresolved, such as no tax clearance or that there has indeed been a change in the licence. Either way, your solicitor or accountant should be able to help. Also I find Revenue officials very helpful so it is unlikely they havent spelled out exactly what the issue is to you?
