Confidence in the World of Excise Taxes – Your Experts for Alcohol, Energy, Tobacco, Coffee Duties and More

If your business manufactures, stores or trades in goods such as alcohol, energy products, tobacco, coffee or alcopops, you operate within a highly complex framework of excise legislation. Errors in handling tax suspension procedures, excise warehouses, the EMCS (Excise Movement and Control System), or tax liability events can result in significant financial risks.

Common mistakes with serious consequences:

• Unintentional tax liabilities: Misapplication of suspension procedures or inaccurate declarations via EMCS can lead to unexpected tax demands.
• Back taxes and interest payments: Missed deadlines or incomplete records relating to excise warehouses may trigger reassessments, interest charges and fines.
• Operational disruptions: Misinterpretation of excise liability rules can result in the suspension of authorisations or even the closure of facilities.
