National Taxation Bureau of the Northern Area (NTBNA), Ministry of Finance stated that according to Article 8-1 of Regulations for the Collection of Tobacco and Alcohol Tax, if a manufacturer changes the name, specifications, volume, net weight or alcohol content of the approved tobacco and alcohol product, a new registration is required. For other changes in the original registration, the manufacturer shall apply to the competent tax authority for change in the registration prior to its production. If the aforesaid change involves only the logo on the package, the manufacturer shall submit the information to the tax authority for reference without applying for a change of registration.
      The NTBNA would like to remind the public that, in case of questions, please call the toll-free number 0800-000321, or directly contact the national taxation bureaus, regional taxation branches and offices for further information.
