Details

Tackling alcohol fraud is an HM Revenue and Customs priority. The HMRC Alcohol Strategy was launched in 2010 and refreshed in 2016.

Our aims for alcohol, working with other enforcement agencies and the alcohol industry, are to:

  • promote good compliance - making it easier for businesses to pay the right duties
  • prevent tax losses - making it harder to make mistakes or to deliberately cheat, including addressing regime vulnerabilities, and exploring technology solutions to prevent fraud
  • respond to those who cheat - increasing the impact of enforcement
