Duties of an excise officer
What were the duties of a Ride Officer in the Excise? Firstly, the expression “Ride” is very descriptive. A Collection was a County sized area split into Divisions, which were further split into Rides. A Ride was an area that one man on horseback, (thus Ride), could cover to perform his duties of assessing and collecting Duty. Excise duty was levied on many products and the list of products changed with time. The necessities of life – meat, salt, leather, beer, and clothes were all affected and the Excise Officer had wide powers of entry and search. Duty on brewing and distilling were the major part of the role.
As far as brewers and brewing are concerned, the duties of the Excise Officer have changed very little over the centuries. During the brewing of a particular brew of beer, the process starts with the mash. This is where the water, malt and hops are all heated together in a huge vat. Measurements of quantity were taken at this stage. When the brewing and fermenting process were completed, the Excise Officer would test the beer for its alcoholic content and quantity. Duty was levied on these figures.
The Officer would have to keep a Journal and various Books detailing his assessment of duty due and amounts. These records were regularly inspected by his Supervisor. Inevitably, such close contact with breweries and beer led to occasional recordings of intoxicated Officers and subsequent punishment or dismissal from the service.
It is clear that in order to perform his duties, an Excise Officer would of necessity had to have been both able to read and write well and possess a good grasp of arithmetic for the calculations involved. This was at a time when many would sign their name on documents with their mark or a simple cross.

Customs always right
By Oleg Yankelev, analyst of Institute for Financial Studies
After product’s customs clearance, its circulation will be monitored not only by taxation authorities but by the customs as well.
Pursuing this aim, the State Customs will be entitled to request and receive commercial documents, accounting reports and any other related information as well as to inspect importer’s premises. Also, the State Customs Committee will hold the right to carry out customs revisions – general inspection of companies’ activities that participate in foreign economic activity.

The inspections empower customs officials to enter importers’ territory with resistance suppression and open closed rooms.
Office of public prosecutor is to be notified of such law acts post factum. Thus, additionally to taxation authorities and law-enforcement bodies, the law being effective creates a new law-enforcement and inspecting body.

Таможенные платежи теперь можно заплатить через Интернет
ФТС России создала условия для оплаты таможенных платежей через сеть «Интернет» при помощи таможенных карт РАУНД.
Координатором эмиссии таможенных карт РАУНД является Мультисервисная платежная система. Первая операция по уплате таможенного платежа через сеть «Интернет» посредством таможенных карт РАУНД успешно проведена 15 марта 2013 года.
При новом способе уплаты таможенных платежей участник ВЭД может осуществлять оплату таможенных платежей непосредственно в процессе электронного декларирования. При этом отсутствует необходимость в физическом присутствии работника на таможенном посту или в установке POS-терминала в офисе участника ВЭД.
При проведении интернет-платежей таможенная карта РАУНД обеспечивает высокий уровень безопасности благодаря использованию электронной подписи плательщика, а также разового SMS пароля. После осуществления платежа информация об оплате моментально поступает в информационную систему ФТС России.
