No return received yet, and according to last year's notice:
I received last year's notice on 29th March 2011, completed and posted it off on 30th March 2011, and when I eventually received my assessment was hit 10% for late submission.If the return is not submitted to this office on or before 31 March 2011, a penalty not exceeding 10% of the final assessment may be imposed in terms of section 83(6)(b).
But then that's supposed to be my fault because according to the same notice:
Have you notified WCC that you have not received your form yet?Kindly take note that the return of earnings, W.As.8, is mailed to all registered employers in the beginning of the year. The onus is on the employer to notify my office by the 1st of March if the return of earnings form has not been received. Forms are available on the website.
And I've checked - the last W.As.8 form on the Dol website at the moment is for the 2010 year - last modified 2011-11-06.
Unfortunately the Workmans Compensation Commissioner believes in time travel. As proof I tender my last assessment received.

How the heck was I supposed to pay this by 4th January 2012?
They really need a serious wake-up call.
