Tax consulting – excise tax

As an indirect tax, excise duty is not a general duty, which means that it applies only to certain categories of good. A common excise duty system in the EU applies to excise goods, such as energy products, electricity, alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. Excise duties on other products, such as automobiles, dried tobacco, electronic cigarette liquid and novelty products, are at the discretion of member states. The specific nature of excise duty, and frequent changes to the regulations in this area, require continuous and ongoing analysis of the market for trading both excise duty and other goods that may be subject to the provisions of excise law.
