Excise duty and consumption tax

Your partner for expert guidance and fiscal compliance

Import tax (excise duty) has to be paid for the consumption of excise goods or consumer goods when the goods are imported. But when you pay and how much you pay depends on your own licences.

For example, by applying for various licences, you can defer the payment of excise duty and consumption tax by storing and dispatching goods under suspension of excise duty. By not releasing them for free circulation until the point at which they are actually sold, we give your company a liquidity advantage. In other cases, we may be able to exempt your goods completely.

Save time with an eAD

When are you eligible for an eAD?

An eAD (electronic administrative document) is an electronic file that records the movement of excise goods at every stage of their journey. It can be used to delay payment of duties and reduce delays. Our team will create and oversee the implementation of an eAD if you meet the following requirements:

  • You have a Tax Warehouse authorisation (in other member states: tax entrepôt)
  • You have a Registered Consignee authorisation
  • You have a Registered Consignor authorisation
  • You have a Certified Consignee authorisation
  • You have a Certified Consignor authorisation

Improve your record keeping

Keep faultless records and reduce your administrative burden

Importing and exporting excise goods or consumer goods comes with a heavy administrative burden. For example, there needs to be a clear picture of the quantity, nature and composition of the excise goods that are produced and/or stored, and stock records must contain detailed information on the location or products.

But with Gaston Schul, that burden is not yours to bear alone. Our customs specialists are experts in excise duty administrative tasks and will handle all of the paperwork on your behalf. You focus on growing your business, we’ll focus on clearing your goods through customs.
