Tax Stamp & Excise Stamp Systems

Governments around the world use indirect taxation as a means of raising revenues and frequently discriminate by applying high rates of duty on those products that it sees as being undesirable for their health or social effects.

High rates of duty on tobacco and alcohol and different rates of duty between countries offer an incentive for smugglers to try and profit from these differences by evading the taxes due. As a result governments globally fail to maximize the collection of revenues legitimately owed to them.

OpSec Security produces tax stamps and excise stamps in addition to managing the supply chain for a number of governments worldwide to counter the activities of smugglers and increase revenue collection.

Beginning with design of the printed stamp and of the high security Optically Variable Device (OVD), OpSec is able to create the most technically sophisticated tax stamps available today. Together with customized track and trace databases, these high security products enable governments to maximize revenue collection. Through a complete understanding of the supply chain, OpSec is able to control the issuance of tax stamps to multiple locations around the globe and ensure total security throughout the system.
