WINE02140 - Procedure: revenue risks

Each new application for a licence should be examined critically. Any duty suspension arrangements afforded to a licensed wine producer present a risk to the revenue that should be estimated for each new wine producer.

On EPT’s request, the National Co-ordination Unit (NCU) will perform the following checks on a new applicant:

• confirmation of the legal status
• cross reference to the VAT register, examination of the wine producer’s folder if appropriate, looking particularly at the reliability and compliance indicators
