Tobacco products

Draft Minister for Finance Regulation on the design and types of revenue stamps for alcohol and tobacco products, the procedure for ordering revenue stamps, the procedure for dispatching alcohol and tobacco products bearing revenue stamps to another excise warehouse keeper, and the composition of data on a delivery note for revenue stamps

The draft introduces a smaller revenue stamp (16 mm x 32 mm) in addition to the standard-sized one (20 mm x 44 mm). The dimensions of the revenue stamp for cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and smoking tobacco are amended. Both revenue stamps will apply in parallel, thus facilitating a smooth transition to the smaller-sized one for companies. Companies shall decide on the size of the required revenue stamps according to their technical readiness to affix a smaller revenue stamp on the packaging. The other technical conditions of the revenue stamp remain unchanged. The regulation is scheduled to enter into force on 1 January 2019.
