Paper Delivery Documents to Stay Longer - Plans to Amend the Excise Duty Act

29 July 2019

The assumptions for an amendment to the draft Act amending the Excise Duty Act and certain other acts (project number UD 563) have appeared in the List of Legislative and Programming Work of the Council of Ministers.

The amendment to the Act of 20 July 2018 amending the Excise Duty Act and the Customs Law Act is intended to extend until 12 January 2021 the period during which excise goods monitored in the EMCS PL2 system may also be delivered on the basis of a paper delivery document. In its current wording, the Act of 20 July 2018 amending the Excise Duty Act and the Customs Law Act allows a paper delivery document to be used in parallel with an electronic document only until 31 December 2019.
