FTA Decision on Standards, Controls and Procedures for Excise Goods Shortages

Sets standards and procedures the FTA applies when assessing shortages of excise goods (e.g. inventory/stocktake discrepancies) at designated excise zones and warehouses. FTA's own legislation listing labels this 'No. 6 of 2025' despite a January 2026 issue date; exact number/year could not be independently reconciled within this research session — flagged for verification.
