Did you remember to submit your annual Anti-Money Laundering declaration?
The deadline for submitting the Annual Anti-Money Laundering declaration is 31 March 2016. If you have not yet submitted the Anti-Money Laundering declaration, please do so as soon as possible.
Every registered Belgian diamond dealer is legally obligated to complete the annual Anti-Money Laundering declaration each year and send it to the FPS Economy (or deliver it to the AWDC reception desk). The deadline for submission is 31 March 2016. Should you fail to submit the declaration prior to the deadline, you run the risk of receiving an administrative fine of 250 EUR to 1,250,000 EUR.
Since 2016 it is also possible to submit the Anti-Money Laundering form online via www.registereddiamondcompanies.be. To get your login and password, contact FPS Economy at 02/277.99.24 or Daniel.daeyaert@economie.fgov.be.
If you already have a login and password for the KYC-database, you can use the same one for submitting the AML-form.
If you need help completing the declaration or would like more information about your legal obligations with respect to Anti-Money Laundering, please do not hesitate to call us, or make an appointment with the AWDC AML & Compliance Helpdesk.
