INTRODUCTORY NOTE

In collaboration with the Member States, the European Commission has established the EXCISE DUTY TABLES showing rates in force in the Member States of the European Union. As from 1 January 2007 this publication: * covers the 27 Member States of the EU; * has been divided into three different sections: I II III Alcoholic Beverages Energy products and Electricity Manufactured Tobacco.

This publication aims to provide up-to-date information on Member States main excise duty rates as they apply to typical products. The information is supplied by the respective Member States. The Commission cannot be held responsible for its accuracy or completeness; neither does its publication imply an endorsement by the Commission of those Member States' legal provisions. It is intended that Member States will regularly communicate to the Commission all modifications of the rates covered by this publication and that revised editions of the tables will be published twice a year. To this end, it is vital that all changes to duty structures or rates are advised by Member States to the Commission as soon as possible so that they may be incorporated in the tables with the least possible delay. All details should be sent to Ms Eija Hokkanen or Mr Aurimas Vasylis: e-mail telephone [email protected] +32-2-299.56.09; +32-2-295.35.25

All Member States:

Update / corrigendum of all tables, footnotes and contact data

All Member States: Insertion of the specific, ad valorem and VAT rates of 2012 additionally to the rates applicable as from 1 January 2013 in order to allow the correct calculation of the excise incidence for cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco (see pages 7 and 13). According to Articles 8(2) and 14(2) of Council Directive 2011/64/EU the weighted average price (WAP) for cigarettes and fine-cut tobacco has to be calculated by reference to the total value of all cigarettes/fine-cut tobacco released for consumption, based on the retail selling price including all taxes, divided by the total quantity of cigarettes/fine-cut tobacco released for consumption on the basis of data relating to all such releases for consumption made in the preceding calendar year. Remark: This revision includes updates and corrections provided by Estonia, Greece, Italy and Romania (indicated in green).
