Different business sectors have different rates. The rates raised against you will be based on the historical claim experience of the fund for your sector.

Frankly, if submitting online hits a snag, that's probably the best way to go.

I don't think that they will accept registered mail. Once before when we had a problem we asked them if we can send the response via registered mail and they said that they do not have time to go and fetch registered post.

On the one hand I can understand the logic, as thousands and thousands of registered letters could be a problem ... but on the other hand it leaves the sender with no proof of submission whatsoever.

Received mine yesterday - two of them! Did the one online - no hassles. The other will have to be posted as there was a hiccup with 2010 submission.

Hi all, I even received an Invoice today via email!

I have submitted our ROE now. Immediately received feedback of how much to pay. However I do not agree with the amount. The payment due (1.38%) is based on the provisional figures. Payment is due 27 June 2012. At least a bit of grace

The answer is to send it via Speedpost at the Post Office. You get a slip proving when you posted, together with your details and the address you posted to. On the other side it gets dropped straight into the Post Box/private bag - they don't have to sign for it. And push comes to shove, the article is tracked.

Costs around R66.00

Hi FACE, when I received my invoice from them there was a bit of a breakdown on how they arrived at the figure. It will be difficult to argue with them because it is so hard to get to talk to anyone in that dept.

Thank you.

Hi, has anyone been able to figure this out? Franco have you had any luck??

Hi Vixen - I have decided to submit manually and enclosed a copy of the previous year's submission for their attention. I doubt that it will be able to be fixed online ... and it seems as though they have written the program so that previous years submissions have to be sorted out first.

A bit short-sighted in my opinion, as one would like to pay the present assessment while trying to sort out previous years ... but maybe it is all a plot to add interest to your present assessment as well because you could not sort it out. Who knows.

If you get any joy on this I would be very interested in hearing how it was solved.

What the frikkadel? The deadline has now been extended till 31 July 2012.... HOOOHAH! Open DoL website, read, and celebrate!. Pitty we did now know about this... then we could have hold back on some of the submissions = give us longer time to pay....
