Key points
- Registration and permits. Taxpayers amend their BIR registration to include the tax type EXCISE TAX. They secure a Permit to Engage in business as Manufacturer, Importer or Dealer/Trader from the Excise LT Regulatory Division (ELTRD) and get an Assessment Number from ELTRD.
- Importation. Importers secure a Permit to Import and an Authority to Release Imported Goods from ELTRD. They pay the Excise Tax using BIR Form No. 2200-T (Excise Tax Return for Tobacco Products) and the corresponding Alphanumeric Tax Codes.
- Internal Revenue Strip Stamps. Strip stamps are requisitioned from the BIR under Revenue Regulations No. 3-2006 and firmly affixed before the products leave the place of production or Customs’ custody.
- Brands and removals. New and existing brands of tobacco products are registered. Manufacturers fill up the prescribed Excise Taxpayer’s Removal Declaration for all removals.
- Records. Taxpayers maintain Official Registry Books and other forms or records the BIR may prescribe.
Who is affected
- Manufacturers, importers and dealers/traders of Heated Tobacco Products and Vapor Products
