processing Declarations.
Paying a Credit Account
The ASYCUDA accounting system offers several options for paying the duty and tax liability for
declarations that have been assessed and cleared against a credit account.
Note: When a declaration is assessed using a valid credit account the
declaration is treated as is if it were paid. However, within the accounting
system, the declaration retains an unpaid status. To pay the declaration (and
change the status to paid) the liability against the declaration in the credit
account must be settled.
Payments can be made through the options:
· Functions, Payments in, Declaration (Credit);
· Functions, Payments in, Declaration Statement (Credit);
· Closing balance generation.
These payment options are explained in the following paragraphs.
Payments in - Declaration (Credit)
This is the basic credit payment option. The declarations have been assessed (and the goods most
likely released) against the credit account but the duty payment liability remains. This option allows
for the payment of tax and duty liability for individual credit declarations.
The frequency of payments will depend on the terms of the agreement between
Customs administration and the declarant when setting up the credit account.
