We recently looked at a number of aspects regarding the changes in the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC) Act that will affect Motor Vehicle Dealers (MVDs) in certain instances.
We covered themes ranging from Vehicle Dealers: From Reporting to Accountable Institutions; Seven key points to become fully FICA compliant; A hefty price to pay for non-compliance to Seven Reasons you should automate your FICA process.
At the end of last year, the Government Gazette published changes to Schedules 1, 2 and 3 of the FIC Act. Motor vehicle dealers were included in the High Value Goods Dealers (HVGDs) category as Accountable Institutions. These new Accountable Institutions were granted an 18-month transitional period by the FIC.
Now with only six months left in the 18-month transitional period, time is ticking away for new Accountable Institutions to become FICA compliant.

Join DocFox, a leading FICA software provider, for a free 1-hour webinar on the 8th of November at 10:00 to find out whether your business is an Accountable Institution and discover the obligations required to ensure that you are fully FICA compliant.
