How it works
1
Identify the tariff line
Excise rates are specific (per litre / per kg / per stick) for most products and ad-valorem (% of value) for airtime and used vehicles.
2
Apply the rate
Specific: Rate × Quantity. Ad-valorem: Rate × Value.
3
Add VAT on excise
VAT 15.5% applies on top of (CIF + duty + excise + surtax) for imported goods. Excise paid by domestic manufacturers is recovered through the price.
