Sheep and goat census due by 13 November for native-breed subsidy advance
Some beneficiaries must also submit a handwritten register by 18 November. The tax authority announced that advance payments will be made by 30 November.
Beneficiaries of intervention P3-70-1.5 to conserve endangered native breeds must complete the 2026 sheep and goat census by Friday, 13 November to receive the advance. The Independent Authority for Public Revenue will use data from the Ministry of Rural Development and Food’s digital annual census service in its checks.
Who needs to submit a handwritten register
Beneficiaries with two or more breeds of sheep or goats, or with pig holdings, must submit the handwritten register to the relevant regional inspections and payments office by Wednesday, 18 November, in addition to completing the digital census. The register is used to verify animal numbers by breed.
Beneficiaries with more than one EL code must enter the census for all codes on the same date in the veterinary database. The requirement recurs every year of the commitment.
The authority announced that the advance will be paid by 30 November 2026. If the applicable requirements are missed, no advance will be paid for the animal categories affected by the omission.
Three checks before submitting
First check whether you are enrolled in intervention P3-70-1.5: this deadline concerns the advance for the native-breed scheme. Next, count your EL holding codes. If you have more than one, plan to record all of them on the same day.
If you keep two or more sheep or goat breeds or operate a pig holding, set a separate reminder for the handwritten register. Completing the digital census by 13 November does not replace submitting the register by 18 November. The 30 November date is for scheduled payment, not a deadline for beneficiaries to act.
