Enquiries
Once registered, returns will be sent to you for completion either quarterly, annually (or half yearly for Oilseeds only) depending upon the tonnages of home-grown cereals or oilseeds that you either purchase from growers and/or process during a cereals year (1 July - 30 June).
These returns must be completed and returned to HGCA within 28 days of the end of the period to which they relate. If you have not completed any leviable transactions a NIL return is required. Please do NOT send payment with returns.
On receipt of the completed returns, the Authority will issue invoices, if necessary. Remittances, which must be made within 49 days of the period covered by the return, should always be made payable to the HGCA. Please make sure you enclose a copy of the invoice with your payment.
