Alcohol, tobacco products, and energy products… excise duties are levied within the EU on many everyday goods.
Although some of the rates of duty do indeed differ between individual Member States, there are uniform taxation rules because the excise duties have been harmonised throughout Europe. In addition, there are purely national excise duties such as the coffee duty in Germany.
Regulations must be observed to ensure uniform taxation in intra-Community trade in these excise goods.
