According to the Verkhovna Rada’s website, the draft law No. 8287 has been signed by the President of Ukraine.
Ukraine loses about UAH 30 billion a year due to the shadow market. To change this, the eAcquis project was created. This is one of the most anti-corruption laws in the field of tobacco and alcohol control. It envisages the creation of a digital system that will allow tracking goods and developing a transparent market for alcohol and tobacco products. It will also replace paper excise stamps with electronic ones.
What does eExcise provide?
- control over the circulation of alcohol and tobacco products,
- limit the channels for selling illegal products,
- increase budget revenues from excise tax by 15%.
What does an electronic excise stamp give you?
- it cannot be forged,
- simple registration procedure, unlike the paper one,
- anyone can check the products by scanning a special DataMatrix code through Diia/
The eExcise system and the electronic excise stamp will be launched in January 2026.
How it works
The team of the Ministry of Digital Transformation is working with partners to launch an electronic excise stamp with a DataMatrix code. Each of you will be able to read it through Diia to get all the information about the product and not endanger your life by buying counterfeit goods.
The eExcise project is being implemented with the expert and technical support of the USAID/UK aid project Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services (TAPAS) in close cooperation with the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the Ministry of Finance, the Tax Service and the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.
