The way in which Rural Payment Agency administered quotas are declared to HMRC will change from 14 December 2024 as an additional code is added to Data Element 2/3.

HMRC have confirmed that, in addition to declaring document code L001 with the RPA licence identification in DE 2/3 and the appropriate quota order number in DE 8/1, it will be necessary to declare document code Y100 in DE 2/3, completing the document reason field with the text ‘quota’


HMRC will implement changes to CDS on 14 December 2024, and the code Y100 must not be used before then.

This change does not impact the declaration of RPA licences where quota is not being claimed or quota claims that are not linked to the use of an RPA licence.


HMRC will be publishing updated information in due course.
