  1. The direct link between SPIRE and the HMRC system CHIEF has now been tested. The link will go live on the 16th April 2008. All licences issued from this date will have key information about them sent to CHIEF. This data will then feed into the ALV system (Automatic Licence Verification) and declarations that are made will be checked accordingly.
