How to cancel your authorisation as an excise warehousekeeper.
You can use this form to tell HMRC about a business that needs to cancel its authorisation as an excise warehousekeeper.
What you’ll need
We will ask for your warehousekeeper ID. You’ll find your ID on your approval letter or certificate of registration.
We may also ask for:
- the date for cancellation
- the date production will end, if applicable
- details about any unused stock or goods left on premises
Read more information at section 10.7 of the Alcoholic Products Technical Guide.
Cancel your approval
You can cancel your approval online.
If you cannot cancel online
You can write to the Excise Processing Team.
After you’ve cancelled
If we agree to cancel the approval, we will confirm this in writing.
You must continue to meet your approval or registration obligations until the agreed cancellation date is reached. If you do not do this, it may result in financial penalties.
