Excise duties on tobacco, spirits, wine, beer, and other taxable goods represent a significant source of revenue for governments. However, this income is increasingly jeopardized by illicit trade in these products, including smuggling, counterfeiting, and tax evasion.
Governments, losing billions annually in uncollected revenues, can safeguard this critical income stream by implementing tax stamps as tools for tax collection and payment verification. These tax stamps also serve as proof of authenticity and enable secure track-and-trace systems, protecting the interests of stakeholders such as economic operators, consumers, and public health organizations.
The Tax Stamp & Traceability Forum aims to unite government excise and customs agencies, investigators, law enforcement, regulators, manufacturers and distributors of excisable goods, security printers, supply chain experts, authentication and serialization technology providers, and systems integrators. This platform facilitates discussions on the latest advancements in tax stamp and traceability systems, sharing insights on requirements, best practices, and innovative solutions.
