FTA issues clarification on Scenarios requiring the return of Digital Tax Stamps

Digital Tax Stamp (DTS) regime recently implemented by FTA  requires the marking of certain excise goods with a physical and digital marker to validate authenticity of excise goods, as well as to track the goods throughout the supply chain  to verify whether tax has been paid on those goods or not.

This public clarification (EXTP001) provides guidance on practical scenarios likely to be faced by manufacturers dealing with the application of marks to tobacco and tobacco products.
