Annual License Renewal
The Ministry of Customs and Revenue (‘MCR’) is currently sending out media and mail reminder notices to all its customers of the various annual licenses administered by the MCR to be renewed (e.g. business license, liquor license to sell and/or to manufacture, customs broker licenses and CCA license) and various tax returns that are due to file and pay within March 2021 or by 31 March 2021.
In addition, we are also sending out kind reminders to our customers with outstanding licenses, tax returns and arrears that are long overdue to be settled or to make arrangements with us if there is valid and justified reason(s).
These are normal reminder actions from our Ministry during the first few months or every year up to end of April given our role as the major revenue collecting agency of the government. These actions have also been reviewed and adjusted to be flexible within boundaries of the legislations, under our newly developed MCR “Business Continuity Plan 2021” which took into consideration the ripple
effects of the covid-19 pandemic at different levels on our specific business industries.
Unfortunately for the Ministry, it has been brought to our attention that some media sources are providing false information about the Ministry taking drastic and forceful enforcement actions on some of our customers, namely the Ministers of Religion since beginning of this month (March 2021).
The Ministry of Customs and Revenue (MCR) wishes to inform members of the public that no such enforcement actions are being executed by the Ministry apart from our normal reminder notices as
advised above.
Therefore, the public is kindly encouraged to refrain from indulging false information provided by unfounded claims and misguided information that are made available on media to purposely confuse
and distort ongoing work carried out by your Ministry.
For correct information, please contact our Ministry on telephone 20411, 21561 or email us via: info@services.gov.ws
We appreciate your ongoing support and cooperation.
Ma lou fa’aaloalo lava.
