Submitting Excise Tax Returns

You are required to file your Excise Tax Returns on a monthly basis. The due date is the 15th day of each month. Excise Tax Returns are calculated based on completing the following forms (as applicable):

1. Excise declarations forms (requiring customs clearance) for:

- Importing excisable goods

- Releasing excisable goods from Designated Zones.

 

Note:

submit these forms each time you import or release excisable goods from a Designated Zone (requiring customs clearance). The values from these forms are automatically populated into the Tax Return when you submit your monthly return.

 

2. Excise liability forms once a month for:

- Tax Liability on the production of excisable goods

- Releasing excisable goods from Designated Zones without Customs clearance

3. Excise Tax due on stockpiling of excise goods:

A separate form for declaring stockpiled goods is not required, you need to input tax due from stockpiling excise goods manually into the return.

4. Deductible Excise Tax:

This is completed once a month.
