RASK says Packaging Excise Duty Act is unconstitutional

Villy Lopman, attorney at RASK Attorneys-at-Law, drew the attention of the Estonian Tax and Customs Board to various shortcomings in the Packaging Excise Duty Act.

The definitions of packages in the act could violate the Constitution of the Republic of Estonia; hence, tax collection might to a certain extent be against the law.

The Estonian Tax and Customs Board agreed that a problem exists and started working with the relevant ministries to clarify the regulation.
