Commissioner of Customs and Excise

(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which come into force on 30 November 1996, amend the Wine and Made-wine Regulations 1989 (S.I. 1989/1356).
Except where the sending out of wine or made-wine from a winery without payment of duty is specifically allowed, duty is payable on wine and made-wine at the time it is sent out of such a winery. These Regulations add regulation 12A to the Wine and Made-wine Regulations 1989. Regulation 12A allows a producer to change the status of wine and made-wine held in a winery to duty paid (on payment of the duty or under deferred payment arrangements) without the need to actually send the wine or made-wine out of the winery.
These Regulations also amend regulations 11, 12, 13 and 23 of the Wine and Made-wine Regulations 1989. These amendments make clear the difference between the time when duty is charged on wine and made-wine and the time when the requirement to pay duty takes effect (the excise duty point).
1979 c. 2; section 118A was inserted by section 12 of, and Schedule 5 to, the Finance Act 1991 (c. 31); section 1(1) defines "the Commissioners" as meaning the Commissioners of Customs and Excise.
1979 c. 4; section 56(1) was amended by section 114(6) of, and Part IV of Schedule 23 to, the Finance Act 1986 (c. 41); section 4(3) applies the definition of "the Commissioners" in section 1(1) of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979 (c. 2).
S.I. 1989/1356.
