Duty representative Services

We are trusted by a range international wholesalers, independent bottlers, and intermediaries to act as their agent for UK Excise Tax

Call of duty

As an international owner of excise goods in the United Kingdom, you will require a UK Duty Representative to act as your local agent for customs and excise tax and reporting obligations. We are fully licensed to act as a Duty Representative by HMRC and can handle all aspects of record keeping, declarations and payments on your behalf, while ensuring that you have full legal ownership of your bonded goods.

Why appoint a UK duty representative?

Full registered ownership

If you are a foreign entity owning excise goods in the United Kingdom, entrusting a third party with registered ownership of your goods puts you at risk. A registered duty representative is the only trustee arrangement recognised by HMRC for bonded goods in the UK.

Expertise and service

As an authorised bonded warehouse, bottler of Scotch whisky, and duty representative, we have regular contact with the UK tax authorities and can act as your point of contact for any issues arising during the lifecycle of your bonded goods.

Storage and bottling included
