TTTC8100 | Deactivation of an economic operator or facility ID

HMRC may deactivate an economic operator identifier code (EOID) which will mean that it can no longer be used in the Tobacco Track and Trace system to purchase tobacco products for sale by the business or operator.

Deactivation of an EOID may lead to the automatic deactivation of related Facility codes (FID). This can occur when an EOID is registered to several premises which are each holding an FID.

In these situations, HMRC will consider deactivating only the FID for the premises on which the contravention occurred. This will be subject to HMRC being satisfied that contraventions have not occurred at the other premises operated by the EOID holder.
