Snackwell Ltd v Revenue and Customs: FTTTx 13 Nov 2013

FTTTx Excise Duty – Importation of flavoured ciders from Lithuania – flavoured ciders ranked as ‘made-wine’ rather than ‘cider’ for excise duty purposes, so attracting duty at the rate of andpound;107.36 per Hectolitre rather than andpound;37.68 per Hectolitre – whether the Appellant had any legitimate ground for escaping the liability for the additional duty from andpound;37.68 to andpound;107.36 per Hectolitre when he had innocently but wrongly declared the importations as cider and HMRC had failed to notice that the flavoured ciders had been wrongly categorised – Appeal dismissed
