New Customs Forms to Combat Fraudulent Activities and Ensure Revenue Integrity

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

CABINET NOTES: An invitation was extended to the Comptroller of Customs, the Deputy Comptroller, the I.T. specialist, and several Customs officials who have responsibility to discourage fraudulent activities that would deprive the Customs and Excise Division of much needed revenue. 

Emphasis is therefore placed upon forms that are used by brokers to clear goods, especially when waivers of duties, the ABST, the Revenue Recovery Charge (RRC), and the Environmental Levy are sought.

The new forms will soon be implemented in April 2024 and will include a QR Code, generated by computers; they will cost $20.00 and will require the original signature of the Minister of Finance or someone acting for him in his absence.

This will allow for an audit trail that will generate checks and balances to enable this procedure.
