Details

This measure will give HM Revenue and Customs flexibility to impose forestalling restrictions against businesses that clear tobacco products in the 3 month period before a Budget. It will provide certainty and reassurance to the tobacco industry on the scope of possible restrictions and will also allow for appropriate sanctions to deter businesses from breaching the anti-forestalling restrictions.
