  1. From the “Client list” screen locate the mine that you wish to complete by viewing the “Name” and “Client ID” columns.
  2. Select “Returns” (located under the Returns column).

    “The Client return history" screen will open.

    Each royalty period will have one of the following statuses assigned:

    • New – a return is due and should be lodged for this period.
    • In Progress – a return has been partially completed or viewed and saved. You may still edit or complete the return.
    • Overdue – a return is overdue and should be lodged for this period.
    • Submitted – a return has been lodged for the period.
    • (Revenue NSW created) – a Revenue NSW Officer has created a return for the period.
  3. From the “Client return history" screen, select “Edit" under the “Details" column for the applicable return period or “Nil" if you are submitting a Nil return for all leases/extractions/minerals.
