PTS is a digital tax stamp management system used by government authorities for nation-wide control of supply chains involved with the production, import, export, and distribution of excise products. Example of product categories include tobacco, spirits, wine, beer, as well as other consumer goods, including soft drinks and mineral water.
With PTS manufacturers and importers of excisable products are required to buy and to append tax stamps on their products before they are sold. Stamps on the products are activated before products enter the markets.
Apart from widening the tax base, and increasing domestic revenue mobilization, it helps curb smuggling, ensures market fairness, and protects consumers.
