Late Registration Renewal of Tobacco Dealers

The Medical Officer of Health Dr Kiran Kumar is reminding tobacco dealers that the registration deadline for tobacco dealers has passed and late fees are now in full effect.

Applications submitted up to 31 December are subject to a late fee of an additional 50% of the registration fee. Applications submitted between 31 December to 31 January will attract an additional 100% of the registration fee. If no application for renewal is received by 31 January, dealers will have to cease operation for 12 months before submitting a new application.

The annual registration renewal fees are: CI$500 for a retailer; CI$750 for a cigar bar, and CI$5,000 for a wholesale distributor.

If there are any dealers who have not registered for 2013 and would still like to do so, submit applications now to avoid paying additional fees and even cessation of operation.

Application forms and guidelines are available from the Health Services Authority’s website www.hsa.ky .  For further information contact Public Health’s Tobacco Registrar, Sarah Hetley, on 244-2889 or email [email protected].
