Details

This page gives the annual amount of tax revenue that is protected by detecting goods on which excise has not been declared, the quantity of goods liable to excise duty that were detected and the rate of duty that applies to these goods.

We work collaboratively with HMRC to produce data for this indicator. It is for revenue protected on tobacco goods (cigarettes and hand-rolling tobacco) seized and on alcohol (spirits, beer, wine, cider and ‘alcopops’) detected at the border and referred to HMRC.

The data are available in both Excel and ODS format.
