A National High Security Tax Stamps Program will be managed by the Angolan General Tax Administration (AGT) within the scope of the aforementioned decree.
The high security tax stamp will become mandatory for economic operators, with a view to creating control mechanisms in a sector affected by counterfeiting and smuggling.
Among the various objectives pursued by the program is the fight against counterfeiting, smuggling and the guarantee that the taxes to which alcoholic beverages, tobacco and sugary drinks are subject are effectively paid.
