A small producer's permit allows Tasmanian craft and boutique liquor producers to sell their liquor at an “event", such as a market or food festival.

A small producer's permit is granted for 12 months and it may include the list of approved events as requested in the initial application.

During the permit period, should the permit holder wish to sell liquor at a new event, they must seek approval from the Commissioner at least seven days before the event is held.
