AL Excise

AL Excise manages Italian excise duties on alcohol inside Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Excise items carry their taxable base in the litres the law prescribes (anhydrous litres for spirits and liqueurs, hydrated litres for intermediate products such as vermouth), dated duty rates, and excise plus state tax stickers applied automatically as item charges on the document. It also handles duty suspension, refundable excise to entitled customers and litres on inventory movements.

Key capabilities

• Excise item - alcohol %, capacity and the hydrated/anhydrous litre units with automatic conversion (the anhydrous litre is the excise base) and net weight from the alcohol coefficient K.
• Dated duty rates - unit excise cost per setup and date; the latest rate valid at the document date is used. Each rate carries its calculation base: anhydrous litres for ethyl alcohol, hydrated litres for intermediate products.
• Excise and tax stickers as item charges - summed per document and posted as item charges assigned to the item lines, through the AL Foundation App item-charge engine; refundable excise to entitled customers is applied as a negative charge.
• Duty suspension - customers with a tax warehouse, authorized warehousekeeper or registered consignee number are not charged excise; the numbers can sit on the customer or on a customs agent.
• State tax stickers - quantity in pieces with a dedicated charge and a separate G/L account.
• Italian electronic invoice - excise and sticker per unit reported on the line.
• Inventory - tax warehouse on the location, and hydrated and anhydrous litres on item ledger and warehouse entries, with lot and average strength per bin.
• Excise master data - excise numbers by type, customs agents, counties, type and number of the accompanying document (e-AD, DAS, DAA) and the alcohol conversion table.

Why it matters

• Duty on the right base - anhydrous litres from alcohol %, with the K coefficient, automatically.
• Excise in the product cost - as item charges through standard Business Central costing, with no parallel posting.
• Suspension, stickers and refunds handled - dedicated charges and accounts, with refundable excise offset.
• Litres always visible - by location, bin and lot.

Built for

Italian companies that produce and sell alcoholic beverages, and their tax warehouses, that need excise and state tax stickers computed, applied and tracked inside Business Central rather than in separate spreadsheets.

What makes AL Excise different

• Anhydrous-litre base, automatic - the fiscal unit derived from alcohol % with the K coefficient.
• Excise as a native item charge - it enters product cost through standard BC costing.
• Refundable excise built in - a negative charge up to the customer's credit.
• Sector integration - works with Catch Weight (weight), Kit and Free Gift.

How it works

Configure the excise item (alcohol %, anhydrous and hydrated litre units, excise and tax-sticker setups), the dated rates, the G/L accounts and the excise numbers of customers and customs agents. On a sales document AL Excise computes the litres, the duty on anhydrous litres and the stickers, inserts them as item charges and assigns them to the item lines, applying any refundable excise for the customer; customers under duty suspension are not charged. On posting the excise follows the item charge and the litres are carried on the inventory entries.
