Amusement Machine Licence Duty

While on a trip to a fast food joint, I noticed this little sticker afixed to the amusement machines. Doing some research, I learned that it's a statutory requirement for all amusement machines to be licensed at the cost of €125 per year, per machine.



Further inspection of the snap I took yields the information that this particular licencee is not up to date (as of 22nd of September 2007) with the licence!



I wonder how long Joe Public would last if they decided not to pay Motor Tax or the T.V. Licence fee?
