Farmers who have used 100% certified seed should simply declare this, sign the form and return it to BSPB. They need take no further action. Similarly, farmers who have had all their farm-saved seed processed via a registered seed processor, and have already paid for the use of eligible varieties, should declare this, provide the relevant details, sign the form and return it to BSPB. They need take no further action. Farmers who have used farm-saved seed for which payment has not been made via a registered processor, for example if it has been self-processed or sown straight from the barn, must declare their use of that seed and make any payment due direct to BSPB.

The legal requirement to declare all use of farm-saved seed to BSPB, when requested, applies whether the seed has been processed or taken straight from the barn, and also whether the varieties involved are eligible for payment or zero-rated.
