Is a Liquor License Required to Sell Beer or Spirits?

Is some type of license required to sell alcohol, liquor, wine, etc. at an establishment or can anyone do it?

For example, a restaurant, coffee shop, hamburger place, or bookstore that wants to sell beer, wine, sake, etc. All of those sell in Taipei so wondering if it’s a separate requirement and if difficult to obtain?

It seems like almost anyplace can sell beer even just random shops up and down any street.

No liquor license is required to retail. They cannot sell liquor online, though.

As long as your business license includes alcohol retail, you’re good. There is no separate license for the premises you are doing business from.
