Statute overview

About this statute

This provision introduces the spirits excise duty law and sets out core rules on excise duty, authorisation, registration, and rates. Section 14 sets out how taxable alcohol quantities are calculated, recorded, reported, and when certain goods are exempt from duty. The Justice Minister may set detailed rules after consulting the Tax Minister, and the Tax Minister may set control measures needed to implement the law. Certain intentional or grossly negligent violations are punishable by fine, and some intentional tax-evasion cases can lead to fine or up to 1 year and 6 months’ imprisonment. Companies and other legal persons may be subject to criminal liability. The provision also sets sharpened fines for certain tax/offence breaches, allows confiscation in serious or repeated cases, and gives tax authorities powers to require information and waive certain claims in specific cases.
