Excise duties

If you're a resident of the European Union and you win a lot, please note that excise duty will be added to your invoice. This is not optional, and the excise duty rate will be based on the bottle's destination country.

More information on excise duties

What is excise duty?

Excise duty is a tax that applies to certain goods, including alcohol. It is separate from VAT and is usually calculated based on the amount of alcohol in the product — the higher the alcohol content, the higher the excise.

For whisky, this tax must be paid before the bottle can be legally sold or consumed. Each EU country sets its own excise rates and rules, which is why excise duty often needs to be paid again when a bottle is shipped across borders.

Are you buying from outside the EU? No problem – no excise duty will be added. Customs of your country will take care of this.

We do this to stay compliant with EU tax and duty laws. If you're unsure what this means for you, feel free to contact us before bidding.
