What This Service Covers
Excise is separate from PAN and VAT and applies to specified goods and activities. This service starts by confirming whether the goods and activity require an excise route.
The product, process, premises, capacity and storage position should be checked before the category-specific application route is prepared.
What Our Service Includes
- A preliminary check of the goods, activity, premises and possible separate sector-licence dependency before the application route is prepared.
- Coordination of the agreed application and inspection sequence; IRD retains licence and supervisory decisions.
- Activity review, registration coordination and compliance handoff within the agreed engagement.
Who It Is For
- Businesses that need to determine whether a planned product or production, storage or sales activity falls within the current excise schedule.
- Producers, importers, storers or sellers whose goods may be excisable.
- Businesses preparing the goods, premises and category-specific records needed for an excise assessment.
What Is Not Assumed
- Not every business needs excise registration.
- Alcohol and other goods can also need separate sector licences.
- Current goods schedules, fees, licence categories and renewal rules must be confirmed.
