England and WalesIssued by HM Treasury
What this covers
Materials, metal and mining
Why you need it
We hold no national enabling statute for this licence. See the note above for why. Rather than cite an Act that does not create it, we say so plainly — your council remains the authority on whether you need it.
Who issues it
This one does not go to your council. It is issued by HM Treasury.
Where to apply
Duty, penalty and exemption labels are Guvnor’s analysis of the enabling instrument, not the instrument itself. Fees, forms and conditions are set by the issuing authority — always check the linked source.
