Excise duties are indirect taxes levied on three product groups: alcohol, energy (oil, gas, electricity) and tobacco. Governed by European Directives and Regulations, they are transposed into the national law of each Member State. There is a considerable degree of heterogeneity between Member States in terms of practices, definitions and rates. We can help you to ensure that your excisable products transactions are secure and processed smoothly.

FISCALEAD has extensive operational expertise in excise matters. Beyond the regulatory aspects, we cover your operational needs. By way of illustration, FISCALEAD has its own excise statutes (alcohol as well as energy products) and can make them available to your company under cover of a guarantee. Similarly, more and more of you are delegating to FISCALEAD the complete management of your stock accounts and excise declarations.
This enables us to define, implement and continuously improve processes that are impervious to reporting risks. If you are active in a sector subject to excise duty, or if you handle raw materials or semi-finished products subject to these indirect taxes, then you know how heavy the applicable penalties can be. Depending on the breaches observed, the penalties can range from one to three times the amount of duty evaded.
Furthermore, you may have an excellent in-house knowledge and command of the regulations, but be looking for advice on the operational implementation of these rules. Whether you need to review the operation of your information system or your processes, FISCALEAD is your preferred partner.
Finally, depending on the destination and use of products subject to excise duty, excise duty exemptions may apply. However, this does not necessarily mean that flows are exempt from the obligation to issue accompanying documents. FISCALEAD is here to help you navigate through all these subtleties, so that they are in your systems, at the heart of your processes and no longer centralised in a single person’s hands.
