Council Directive (EU) 2020/262 of 19 December 2019 laying down the general arrangements for excise duty (recast)
When the UK left the EU, legislation.gov.uk published EU legislation that had been published by the EU up to IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.). On legislation.gov.uk, these items of legislation are kept up-to-date with any amendments made by the UK since then.
Legislation.gov.uk publishes the UK version. EUR-Lex publishes the EU version. The EU Exit Web Archive holds a snapshot of EUR-Lex’s version from IP completion day (31 December 2020 11.00 p.m.).
This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
1.On receipt of the excise goods, the certified consignee shall, without delay and no later than five working days after the end of the movement, except in cases duly justified to the satisfaction of the competent authorities, submit a report of their receipt to the competent authorities of the Member State of destination, using the computerised system.
2.The competent authorities of the Member State of destination shall carry out an electronic verification of the data provided in the report of receipt.
Where those data are not valid the certified consignee shall be informed thereof without delay.
Where those data are valid, the competent authorities of the Member State of destination shall provide the certified consignee with a confirmation of the registration of the report of receipt and send it to the competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch.
The report of receipt shall be deemed to be sufficient proof that the certified consignee has fulfilled all of the necessary formalities and has made, if applicable and unless the excise goods are exempted from payment of excise duty, any payments of excise duty due to the Member State of destination or a duty suspension arrangement in accordance with Chapter III.
3.The competent authorities of the Member State of dispatch shall forward the report of receipt to the certified consignor.
4.The excise duty paid in the Member State of dispatch shall be reimbursed, upon request and on the basis of the report of receipt referred to in paragraph 1.
