The person named was notified of the outcome of a review of their file by letter dated 29 September 2015. Penalties that had been imposed were reduced from 48% to 21%. The person named was notified of this decision and that the difference arising from the reduced penalty would be refunded. Arrangements are being made to issue the amount to be refunded as soon as possible. The delay in processing the partial refund in this case is regretted.

An application under the Basic Payment Scheme/Area of Natural Constraint Scheme was received in my Department from the person named on 20 March 2015.
Following processing, a forestry eligibility issue arose in respect of a number of the parcels declared by the person named. This matter has now been resolved and payment is now due under both schemes. Payment will issue directly to the nominated bank account of the person named at the earliest possible date.
