The Tax Authority has appointed OpSec Security to operate in the Mozambican territory as a concessionaire of the State, represented by the AT, for the provision of an integrated regime of protection against illicit trade and tax losses.

So AT and OpSec Security will together work on the next phase of the Excise Tax protection plan, with a focus on digitally sealing beer and ready-to-drink beverages (RTDs) in the country.

Fiscal control sealing will be applied to domestically produced and imported products. Through its OpSec Insight platform, OpSec Security will take charge of the management, tracking and validation of products anywhere in the supply chain, starting February 7, 2022.

The mandatory sealing program in Mozambique, which began in 2017 and applied to manufactured goods and alcoholic beverages (wines and spirits) has led to a significant increase in the collection of Excise Taxes. Currently, the program is expanding to include products such as beers and ready-to-drink beverages.
