The use of stamps (banderoles) for spirits is abolished on 1.1.2015

The use of all kinds of stamps, wafers as well as band shaped labels, is abolished for products of spirits on 1 January 2015. The aim is to ease the administrative burdens and to reduce the costs for the companies. However, the duty on spirits continues as usual. Containers already equipped with banderoles before 1 January 2015 are not obliged to have the stamps removed.

With this change in the law the use of tax stamps in Denmark is now limited to the tobacco products: cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, pipe tobacco and cigarette paper.
