The National Insurance Corporation (NIC) has launched a new online platform designed to simplify the process of submitting monthly contributions.
The system called, SmartSubmit, allows employers and self-employed persons to submit their monthly contributions remittance information electronically, thereby eliminating the need to deliver a form to the NIC office.
It will result in fewer errors in the information submitted to the NIC while making it easier for employers to stay compliant with their obligations to the Corporation.
SmartSubmit is part of the NIC’s ongoing commitment to leveraging technology to continuously improve on service delivery. Over two hundred businesses signed up to use the platform during the pilot testing phase.
During the transition period, the NIC will continue to provide and accept the traditional Form C3 in the case of employers and Form C5 for self-employed contributors. The Corporation is encouraging customers to register for SmartSubmit by visiting the NIC website at www.stlucianic.org.
