This tab is used to record any Tax, Duty, Deferment and other Bond settings for the Customer
This will only show where you have flagged this customer as “Bonded Customer”
The settings in the fields here are very important and govern a number of facilities within the system so their setup is very important.
Deferments - These are explained in other sections of the wiki in more detail, including how to setup a deferment account, the system allows for two different accounts, if the customer is “Bonded” then they must have one of the two.
Government Deferment, which is a 7 digit code usually beginning with 8 or 9, issued by the local customs authorities, in the UK your customer will provide you with a C1207N form to allow you to use their deferment.
Cash Deferment, which is a 7 digit code beginning with the warehouse code (3) and 4 digits, used when there is no government deferment in place and allows the warehouse to take, submit, collect the funds from the stock holder and then pay this to the government.
Excise / Customs Deferment - You will only be able to see any deferment accounts which have this customers stock code in the allowed to use part of the deferment. When you setup the deferment ensure that this customer is in the stock holder section of the deferment account, the code must agree, and when you press F11 on this field it will either auto fill the field or give you a choice where there is more than one.
If you set Deferment Agreement to YES then within the deferment setup you can not have the Cash Deferment ticked or vv
WOWGR and Duty Representative - These two fields are linked. Before you set the Duty Representative you must insert a WOWGR number, once set you will be unable to change the WOWGR number as the field will lock.
In order to store spirits you need to have a WOWGR registration number, there are exceptions to this when you are a private individual storing in a warehouse, however to qualify for this you would need to have your own account, no VAT number, no deferment acccount, and your storage is supposed to be less than 100 litres (or 5 x 20 litre barrels) [You should note that this is very vague within the guidance]
Customs Duty Payment Options - This relates to customs duty which is applicable to all goods which come into the home country from another country. Those goods may have a preferential rate of duty or a quota allowing a lower rate, with the correct paperwork you can take advantage of this but beware those preferential rates can be withdrawn at any time.
From 01/01/2021 customs duty within the UK will refer to UK customs duty and not EU customs duty.
The fields are explained below :
Field Name | Details on the use of the field. |
|---|---|
Deferment Agreement | This is used to specify whether this customer account will be using a government deferment or a cash deferment. If selected then a government deferment is in place. You will only be able to select a deferment of the same type when you get to the select deferment number fields. You can not tick this and use a cash deferment account or vv |
Duty Paid Use | Is this customer allowed to store duty paid stocks in their account |
VAT Registered | Is this customer VAT registered, this has a bearing on the ability to use PVA / ACQ VAT statuses. |
Use CFSP | No longer used |
Non Stock holding | No longer used |
Customer Frozen | If ticked this will stop the customer from being able to have orders picked, any orders will be held until release. |
Excise / Customs Deferment | This needs to be populated with the account the customer is using for duty payments, if it is a new customer and you have setup the deferment then pressing F11 will usually automatically fill the field with the code, if not it will give you a choice. If you see nothing appear it is likely you have not added the stock holding customer code to the owner section of the deferment or you have specified a cash deferment on the deferment account when you have the deferment agreement ticked on this page. |
WOWGR Registration | A 11-13 digit code usually beginning GBXXnnnnnnnnn will be provided, this needs to be added before you specify the Duty Representative field. Enter the entrie field exactly as provided. |
RPA Registration | This field is no longer used More information can be found in https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/rural-payments-agency |
EORI Number | Formerly called the TURN number, this is provided when you register with HMRC as a consignor of goods being imported into the UK More information can be found in https://www.gov.uk/eori-supporting-guidance |
Customs Duty | From 01/01/2021 this will refer to UK customs duty only This sets when customs duty will be paid, the options are
The Pay Quota/Pref stock will pay this upon receipt in order to take advantage of the preference or quota rate for the item, thereafter we will pay based either on demand or when the rotation is first used. |
Duty Representative | The options available for this are
Should you not have a WOWGR spirits can only be stored for a 72 hour period after which duty MUST be paid. The stock landed will go on hold. You need to use the Bulk duty payment to be able to pay this customs duty. Customers can store spirits under the NA option but this should be limited to private customers only where the customer is not VAT registered, has no deferment, and is not a business, there is also a limit to the volume but it is vague in the guidance. If you have a customer storing reserves on behalf of their customers then they need to apply their own WOWGR to the stock holding as they are not private and classified as a business, if they have no WOWGR they should have no spirits even if it is in reserves. |
