The Customs External Standard-Deferment document (SC-DT.-B-02) effective 27 November 2015 stipulates that, in addition to the twelve regular payment dates chosen by the client, there will be a thirteenth (13th) payment in March every year.
The Statement period for this financial year (2019/2020) 13th payment will close on the 30 March 2020 at 15:00 and payment must be made no later than 15:00, and e-statements will be available after 15:01 on 30 March 2020 for account holders who are on e-filing. Account-holders not on e-filing should make prior arrangements to collect the statements at their Custome Branch Offices.
Stakeholders are advised that in cases where their bank does not transfer direct payments immediately that they should ensure that payment is made sufficiently in advance. For a copy of the press release, please contact Angelique at secretary@middelburginfo.com.
