Nanaimo s liquor-primary operations getting a reduction in business licence fees for one year

Nanaimo council voted this week to reduce 2021 business licence fees for liquor-primary establishments to $165, the standard rate for most businesses, from $1,100. Along with similar businesses, Pederson has cut seating drastically. The pub now accommodates 75 customers, down from 150 pre-pandemic. Pederson understands the logic behind the safety measures, but they have affected profitability. The Landlubber has reduced staff by one worker and is taking part in the Canada wage subsidy program aimed at assisting businesses during the pandemic. Reducing the licence fee levels the playing field, because food-primary restaurants with built-in sports bars pay the standard $165, he said. Coun. Sheryl Armstrong said her motion to reduce business licence fees is temporary until COVID-19 is under control. She won unanimous support for the proposal at this week’s council meeting.
