				  The annual licensing fee for each license shall be paid by an applicant after
				  the Department has approved the application. The renewal license fee shall be
				  paid by the licensee as required by section
				  15020. The Department shall not
				  issue the license until the annual licensing fee has been paid.
(c) To determine the appropriate annual
				  license fee due for testing laboratory, distributor, retailer, and
				  microbusiness license types, the applicant or licensee shall first estimate the
				  gross revenue for the 12-month license period. Based on the license type
				  sought, the applicant or licensee shall identify the appropriate tier category
				  in which their expected gross revenue belongs, as identified in the Annual
				  License Fee Schedule charts found in this section. The license fee associated
				  with the licensing tier category the applicant or licensee has identified using
				  their expected gross revenue shall be the license fee due for the original
				  license or renewal. The following are the annual license fees due for these
				  license types to be paid prior to issuance of a license or renewed license:

				  The annual license fee for a manufacturer license shall be based on gross
				  revenue as indicated in the chart below.
(1)
				  The applicant shall calculate the gross annual revenue for the licensed
				  premises based on the annual gross sales of cannabis products and, if
				  applicable, the annual revenue received from manufacturing, packaging, labeling
				  or otherwise handling cannabis or cannabis products for other licensees, in the
				  12 months preceding the date of application.
(2) For a new license applicant, the gross
				  annual revenue shall be based on the gross sales and revenue expected during
				  the first 12 months following licensure.
(3) For a manufacturer licensee that is also
				  licensed as a distributor or retailer, and that sells or transfers cannabis
				  products manufactured on the licensed premises in a non-arm's length
				  transaction, the annual gross sales or revenue for such transactions shall be
				  based on the product's fair market value if it were to be sold in an arm's
				  length transaction at wholesale.
(4) For purposes of this section, an "arm's
				  length transaction" means a sale entered into in good faith and for valuable
				  consideration that reflects the fair market value in the open market between
				  two informed and willing parties, neither under any compulsion to participate
				  in the transaction.
