How to pay taxes on non-alcoholic beverages

Specific duties on water, carbonated beverages and non-carbonated beverages

The specific duty on non-alcoholic beverages is paid by manufacturers, spring owners, importers and people who carry out intra-Community acquisitions on all quantities of products which arrive, free or in return for payment, on domestic Monegasque and French markets, including Corsica and French overseas departments.

The rate of this tax is as high as €0.54 per hectolitre. This rate is for non-alcoholic beverages which are delivered free or in return for payment in barrels, bottles or boxes, with the exception of syrups, fruit and vegetable juices and fruit nectars.

This duty is paid when the statement concerning the quantities delivered during the previous month is filed at the Excise Office. This statement must be filed and the tax paid before the 25 of every month.

Tax on some beverages containing added sugar or artificial sweeteners

The tax on beverages containing added sugar and the tax on beverages containing artificial sweeteners is paid, for the most part, by manufacturers, importers and people who carry out intra-Community acquisitions on beverages which respectively contain either added sugar or artificial sweeteners.
