Tobacco Products Manufacturing Machinery Licensing Scheme

TOBPMMLS4350 - False or incomplete information provided when applying for the licence

Where you find evidence on receiving the application that is incomplete or inaccurate with the deliberate intention to mislead, to conceal information, or falsify details, this would lead to a refusal of the application. If discovered once the licence has been granted this will result in a revocation of the licence.

The applicant may also be subject to a criminal prosecution where appropriate for knowingly or recklessly making an untrue declaration (Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 s167).
