New Seafish levy portal will make managing accounts easier
The new digital platform has been designed to make the process of submitting levy returns quicker and easier thanks to a series of updates which will give payers better visibility of key account information, including previous levy returns, payments made and downloadable invoices.
Representatives who manage levy submissions for more than one business will now have the ability to access and submit returns for those businesses through a single account.
All users will now also be able to save and update draft returns before submitting them, upload supporting documents and raise enquiries directly with our Levy Team.
‘A simple solution’
The levy portal provides a simple digital solution for levy-paying stakeholders, giving them better access to manage their account and complete key tasks online.
Ultimately this allows levy returns to be submitted and paid in a more timely manner both for our stakeholders and Seafish.
As well as making submitting returns easier, the portal improves access to important account information and reduces the need for businesses to contact the Levy Team for routine requests
The portal is hosted on a secure and reliable Microsoft platform that connects directly with our existing systems and offers us the flexibility to improve and expand the portal as the needs of levy-paying businesses develop.
Kenneth McIntosh, Seafish Finance Director, says the new portal is an “important first step” in providing a modern, integrated and easy-to-use digital platform that would benefit both levy payers and Seafish.
Kenneth added: “We are delighted with the number of levy payers who have already registered their interest in using the new portal, and we look forward to supporting businesses as they make the transition to the new system.”
The portal forms part of our wider work to improve the way we support levy-paying businesses and provide more efficient digital services.
