The deadline for BPS applications without receiving a penalty to payments has passed.

Farmers can still apply up to 9 June this year, but they will face a severe penalty of up to 18% of their BPS/Greening payment (1% deduction per working day since 15 May).

From 10 June, there will be a 100% penalty.

Except in cases of force majeure, applications will not be accepted after this 25 calendar-day period has ended.

Late amendments with additional parcels/plots or amended claimed areas will be accepted online up to and including 9 June 2018 with a penalty.

Payment on the parcel or parcels concerned will be reduced by 1% for each working day in this period that the amendment is late according to the Departments terms and conditions.
