Spirits and Tobacco

Spirits and Tobacco

For many governments, excise taxes on spirits and tobacco are significant sources of revenue. However, criminal activities such as diversion, smuggling, and excise tax evasion contribute to significant tax losses.


When these tax revenues are stolen, they don’t go to their intended sources of funding and in some cases, these stolen revenues have been shown to fund criminal and terrorist activities.

For brand owners, incidents of spirits and tobacco counterfeiting pose serious health risks to citizens and potential revenue loss.
