Referring court
Finanzgericht Düsseldorf
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: f6 Cigarettenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG
Defendant: Hauptzollamt Bielefeld
Operative part of the judgment
Article 1(2) of Council Directive 2008/118/EC of 16 December 2008 concerning the general arrangements for excise duty and repealing Directive 92/12/EEC
must be interpreted as meaning that the concept of ‘other indirect taxes on excise goods for specific purposes’ covers a supplementary tax applicable to heated tobacco, the amount of which is 80 % of the excise applicable to cigarettes, less the amount of excise duty applicable to such heated tobacco.
