Notice to Group 1 and Group 2 of TIMS
The Ministry of Customs and Revenue (MCR) wishes to advice all taxpayers, including those already registered and listed in Groups 1 and 2 for TIMS purposes, that due to many requests for extension of time to comply with TIMS, MCR has now rescheduled commencement dates for each Group as to comply with TIMS Regulations 2020 as follows:
|
Group #
|
Original Commencement Date
|
Rescheduled Commencement Date
|
Time Extension
|
Time to register and for training
|
|---|---|---|---|---|
For Taxpayers of Group 1 who had been granted time extensions on a case-by-case basis, please note that the above rescheduled commencement dates for TIMS purposes, is now our official extensions for every taxpayer.
Please kindly note that these are our FINAL time extensions for every taxpayer in each Group which you are assigned in by the Commissioner. The last column of the above table provides a very important message for all to note. Please register now and install TIMS later.
We welcome with much anticipation our business taxpayers who want to voluntarily comply and ready to register and commence implementation of TIMS now. You do not necessarily have to wait for your invitation but most welcome to contact us now and we will provide the support that is required.
There are a number of Point of Sale (POS) and E-SDC products that have been accredited and published on the Ministry’s website (www.revenue.gov.ws). Business with no invoicing system are strongly advised to consult the published material to select the best option that suits the nature of your business activities.
For those who have an invoicing system which is not yet accredited, please contact your vendor to inform them of the requirement to have their product(s) accredited. The first step for accreditation is visiting the Ministry’s website to access the manuals and sandbox for testing.
Effective from date of this notice, the Commissioner will require business owners (if sole trader), the authorized partner (if partnership) and General Manager/ Managing Director/ Financial Controller (if company), to be the “authorized” contact person for TIMS purposes nad will liaise with that authorized person only. We will no longer accept tax agents, accountants, consultants, or resellers of various POS systems, to liaise with the Ministry on specific issues relating to TIMS compliance. This will make it easier for the Ministry to explain direct our requirements to the taxpayer who is also the authorized person as to avoid miscommunication and additional costs to the taxpayer.
To our esteemed Businesses that have already installed TIMS and issued fiscal invoices, MCR appreciates and applaud your courage and resilience to comply despite the challenges of many factors beyond your controls. Please continue with your commended voluntarily compliance path and MCR will continue to provide the priority support and assistance that is available at any time.
