Paint thinner exempt from excise duty even if misused as drink, court rules
A court has ruled that the excise-duty exemption for products made from denatured alcohol — such as paint thinners — cannot be withdrawn simply because some people drink them or because tax authorities classify the product differently. The producer's knowledge of misuse is irrelevant to the tax treatment. The ruling means such technical products remain exempt from excise duty regardless of how end users consume them.
