VAT is a tax on the final consumption of goods and services in the home market, but it is collected at every stage of production and distribution. When VAT was introduced on 1 April!973 there was one positive rate of tax. This was the standard rate of 10%. Subsiquently a higher rate (17,5%) was introduced. Some goods and services can be either zero-rated or exempt from VAT, which means that no tax is payable.

The best tool for drug law enforcement is a trained, motivated and supported customs officer. The majority of the drugs seized resulted from the work of such officers. There are also, however, other tools and techniques available to supplement the officers’ work and knowledge. Among the most important of these is the principle of co-operation and exchange of information between different Customs services. This includes specific information co-operation on particular drug shipments and/or persons involved in the trade and more general material on concealments, routings, courier characteristics, etc.
This is where the World Customs Organization has a leading role to play since it provides a legal framework by which this activity can be carried out.

“I saw an advertisement for *HM Revenue and Excise and thought that it sounded really interesting. I joined HM Revenue and Excise as an administrative assistant doing general support work. I did that job for three years. When I got my promotion to administrative officer, I worked on the project which involved the simplification of the paperwork for the import and export of goods. I had to handle telephone enquiries. It was very challenging work and there was never a dull moment. After two years I applied for the Investigation division and was fortunate enough to get the job. It was a good opportunity to broaden my experience. My current job as a control officer is tough, but very interesting. The main part of my job is to help traders to understand the regulations and to ensure if they are following the correct procedures. I feel that I am part of the Team and that what I am doing is worthwhile.

The electronic customs declaration of goods, i.e. when goods are declared at a customs office by submitting a customs declaration in electronic form via the electronic communications channels, is widely practiced in the world today. In Russia, the first electronic customs declaration was submitted in 2002.
The advantages of the Internet declaration are that there is usually no need for the declarant to be personally present at the customs office, and that customs clearance is performed rather quickly, taking as little as 15 minutes to release the goods after the e-declaration is sent out. Also, after sending the e-declaration, the declarant receives electronic notifications concerning all the stages of the declaration movement: receipt at the customs office, acceptance, release, etc.
However, using the Internet declaration is not as simple as merely switching on the Internet. The declarant must sign the relevant agreement with the Federal Customs Service, and his information systems must meet certain information security requirements and pass a special test.
