Consequences of an overdue declaration

When is a declaration considered overdue?

‘X days overdue’ status

If a declaration has the status ‘X days overdue’, it means the deadline to submit that declaration has passed.

‘X days overdue’ status, locked

Do you see a lock icon lock-1 on your overdue declaration? This means the allowed time limit has been exceeded and you can no longer submit this declaration.

Consequences of overdue declaration

If a declaration is overdue, late payment interests are payable on the declaration amount for the period from the stated deadline until to the date the declaration is submitted.

In accordance with the contractual terms, failure to submit the declaration after the deadline may result in termination of the agreement with Bebat at the organisation’s expense. This means that Bebat is no longer responsible for the take-back obligation and must inform the competent authorities. Failure to comply with the take-back obligation is an environmental violation and is punishable by administrative fines issued by the competent authorities.
