WCC Annual Assesment

[Johan99]

Elijah,

The Commissioner should issue the Letter of Good Standing if all returns up to 2011 ( period ending 28 February 2012 ) has been submitted and there are no outstanding amounts on your account. The letter should then be valid until 30 April when the 2012 return should be submitted.

With regard to the battle with registration, I think the error is on the website and you should just try from time to time. The electronic submission really simplifies matters. - Just make sure that you complete the "organisation details" tab e-mail address otherwise they will post your assessment.

Thanks for the very useful information you have given so far, Johan. It is much appreciated (particularly as I'm about to tackle my annual returns for this myself).

The letter should then be valid until 30 April when the 2012 return should be submitted.

Just to double check, is the deadline definitely 30th April?
(I had it in my mind that it would have been end of March for some reason).

Hi Dave - yes it was end of March and has now been extended. What's more - they are now offering a discount for early payment.

I received this info from Pastel Payroll:


The Director-General of Labour has also granted certain incentives to motivate employers to submit online and make payment within 90 days.

Employers who submit online and pay within 30 days will receive a 10% discount on their assessment value. Employers who pay within 60 or 9o days will receive a 5% or 2% discount respectively. These discounts will only become effective 01 April 2013 and applies to the 2012/2013 returns only. Interest and penalties calculated for forms submitted online will not be raised before 30 June 2013.

These discounts will only become effective 01 April 2013 and applies to the 2012/2013 returns only.

Sounds like I should wait until April to file the return online, then.

Does everyone remember this offer from WCC?

Based on my enquiry this afternoon, it seems the Commissioner has forgotten!
There is no sign that these discounts have been processed.

[Mike C]

Why am I not surprised?

[Christel]

Ja nee...

Um, yes. Distinctly! After doing my current submission I also noted that no discount had been credited to my bill. Felt used and abused! Probably "too difficult" to implement for them ..... what can I say too ! *sigh*

But at least my submission is done and obtaining a LoGS is now a cinch! Got to given them a gold star for that one.

Now, how about crossing my palm with the promised early-settlement credit !!!!!!

The deadline for RoE has been extended to 31 May 2014 according to the dept of labour website

[Lynda]

Yes, Dissel, that's what I recall when I checked a while ago, that's why I'm not having a nervous breakdown just yet regarding the return.
