Farm Income Tier Declaration
Under the new dues system, all farm businesses must declare their gross farm income once a year. This mandatory declaration will be used to determine how much each business owes for its assessment the following year.
Completing your annual income declaration is a quick and easy process. It must be completed by June 30, 2026, in preparation for your next notice of dues. You do not need to send any documents, and any information you share will remain confidential.
Online declaration
Declaring online is the safest and most efficient way to send us the required information. To do so, please use the UPA’s declaration website.

Option to transfer to a third party

Whether or not you decide to transfer it, you will receive an email confirmation containing a summary of your declaration.
