The Alcohol and Gaming Commission
of Ontario (AGCO) issues licences which allow a producer
of beverage alcohol to sell
its products to the Liquor Control Board of Ontario
(LCBO) for sale or distribution in its system or by
other approved means.
Please be advised that the Excise
Act and the Excise Act, 2001 (administered by the Canada
Revenue Agency) requires that a person obtain a licence
under these federal statutes prior to producing or
packaging wine, beer and/or spirits in Canada.
Visit the Canada
Revenue Agency’s
website for more information or you may telephone them
at 1-866-667-9851.
| If the applicant is a corporation, partnership

Also note that corporations must file updated
information with respect to officers and directors
of a corporation with the Companies and Personal
Property Security Branch on a regular basis.

New manufacturer's winery and distillery licences are

for late renewals.
Transfer
of a Manufacturer's Licence back
Manufacturer's Licences are issued
to individuals, business partnerships or corporations,
for operation at a specific location. The owner - as
licensed with the AGCO - is responsible for the ongoing
operation of the licence.
Changes in ownership (more commonly
referred to as licence transfers) must be approved by
the AGCO. An application must be submitted for approval
BEFORE the change is made.
Licence transfers fall into two general
categories: A 100% change in ownership from that currently
registered with the AGCO; or a partial change in ownership
from that currently registered with the AGCO.

licences, download our "Manufacturer's Licence Application and Guide" located

licensing fee to:
