GREEN DOT CALENDAR
DEADLINE FOR SUBMITTING ANNUAL STATEMENT
BILLING DATES
Payments to Sociedade Ponto Verde can be made in two ways:
If the annual contribution is €1,000 (excluding VAT) or less, the invoice is issued on 15 May with the due date on 29 June.
If the annual contribution is more than €1,000 (excluding VAT), payment is made in four instalments on the following dates:
In either case, if there are any adjustments to be made to the amount billed by estimate in the previous year, they will be made after the submission and validation os the annual statement of the current year. In order to calculate the adjustment to be billed by SPV, remember that the amount billed the previous year was based on the weights declared for the year before that.

If you apply the Green Dot Fees for the previous year to that year's real statement, you will get the amount you should have paid for that year. It is the difference between that amount and the amount billed as an estimate the previous year that will be billed.
All our invoices indicate their due date. If invoices are not paid within the time limit, SPV may charge late-payment interest. This interest is calculated at the additional rate in effect on the date they were issued, as established by law for commercial operations.

SPV defines the annual minimum financial contribution payable to it and may alter each new year.
In the event of non-payment, SPV may charge late-payment interest. This interest is calculated at the additional rate in effect on the date of issue of the invoice for interest payable, as established by law for commercial operations.

AUDITS
Every year, companies in the Green Dot System have to declare quantities of packaging that they place on the Portuguese market.

In order to guarantee equality between all the system's licensees and ensure that the annual figures are accurate, it is essential for there to be mechanisms that help SPV achieve these goals. Auditing of annual statements is one of these mechanisms. Its main purpose is to check that the annual statement has been fully and correctly completed in terms of quantities, weight and classification of packaging and to quantify and record any omissions or inaccuracies.
SPV selects independent, duly accredited organisations for these audits.

After the audit, the auditor submits a report summarising the work done. SPV sends a copy of this report to the company audited.
SPV, directly or indirectly (through the auditor), guarantees total confidentiality of the data requested and processed and of the results set out in the audit reports.
