Ukraine introduces eExcise: how the system to combat counterfeiting will save 30 billion UAH

Introduction of the electronic eExcise system in Ukraine

According to Мінцифра: Ukraine plans to introduce the electronic eExcise system, which aims to combat counterfeit alcohol and tobacco. This initiative is part of a large-scale reform aimed at reducing the level of illegal circulation of these goods.

According to estimates, Ukraine loses about 30 billion UAH each year due to the illegal market for alcohol and tobacco. The launch of the eExcise system could significantly reduce these losses by ensuring control over the circulation of excise goods and increasing their legitimacy.

Impact on the economy

The introduction of the electronic eExcise system reflects the intentions of the Ukrainian government to strengthen control over the market of excise goods and reduce the negative economic consequences associated with illegal circulation. The system can become an important step towards the de-shadowing of the economy, which, in turn, will positively affect budget revenues and provide fairer conditions for legal producers.
