Tomorrow last day to amend SPS form

FARMERS who submitted Single Payment Scheme applications before May 16 can continue to submit “late” amendments until tomorrow, June 10.

But if an amendment involves the inclusion of additional parcels, a 1% penalty will apply for each working day between June 1 and June 10 (the deadline for amendments was May 31.)

Farmers can make certain other amendments in writing after June 10, without penalty, such as the withdrawal of a land parcel that they are not farming, or the withdrawal of an aid application.
