About this statute

This preamble says the spirits excise act implements parts of several EU directives and publishes the consolidated act with later amendments included. Section 14 sets recordkeeping, invoicing, storage, inspection, and a few compliance powers for businesses dealing in taxable ethanol goods. The Minister of Justice may set further rules after consulting the Minister for Taxation, and the Minister for Taxation may set control measures needed to implement the law. Certain intentional or grossly negligent breaches can be punished by a fine, and some intentional tax-evasion offences can lead to a fine or up to 1 year and 6 months’ imprisonment. Companies can be subject to criminal liability. The section also adds harsher fines for certain tax-duty breaches, requires confiscation for serious or repeated breaches unless the concealed duty amount is at most DKK 1,000, and imposes liability and reporting duties in several duty situations.
