Excise Movement and Control System - software and online forms

A range of internet filing enabled software and online forms are available from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and commercial software suppliers, which can be used to file Excise Movement and Control System (EMCS) forms. You can choose the product that best suits your needs. HMRC is pleased to accept forms and returns using any of the products listed.

EMCS Functional Stage 2 (FS2) includes the introduction of the IE825 Submitted Draft of Splitting Operation which will allow consignors to split consignments of energy products intended for different destinations into two or more parts. This functionality is not supported by the UK portal application and can only be submitted via a 3rd party software application.

A number of these commercial software suppliers are testing their products with HMRC. When they have tested successfully, they will be added to the subsequent list below indicating those suppliers who are progressing with development.
