SRA LEVY REGISTER GROWERWEB NOTICE
Wilmar has today posted the below notification to its GrowerWeb.
Sugar Research Australia (SRA) has decided to establish a Levy Payer Register to identify all stakeholders who pay a levy to the organisation. As a result, Wilmar, as a processor of cane, is compelled by law to provide information to SRA that is either Confidential Information pursuant to the terms of your Cane Supply Agreement, Personal Information covered by the Australian Privacy Principles or both Confidential Information and Personal Information. The purpose of this notice is to inform you that going forward, Wilmar must and will provide the following information about each grower to SRA on a monthly basis: ABN; Business Name; Phone; Suburb, State and Postcode; Cane Tonnes; and The amount of the levy. Previously, Wilmar lodged a Sugar Cane Monthly Return with the Department of Agriculture each month, on behalf of ourselves and growers and passed on each Growers’ portion of the SRA levy to the Department of Agriculture without providing specific details about individual growers attached to each payment. The change is because of SRA’s decision to establish the Levy Payer Register. The first monthly report must be received by SRA by 28 July 2019. Further information about the Levy Payer Register can be found: 1. In the SRA notice at http://www.agriculture.gov.au/ag-farm-food/levies/levy-payer-registers/notices/sra ; and 2. On the Department of Agriculture website FAQ section. If you have any questions about the new requirements, contact SRA Executive Manager, Investor Relations (call 07 3331 3329 or email [email protected]) or the Department of Agriculture (call 1800 020 619 or email [email protected] ).
