Why Track & Trace Closes the Tax Gap

Excise fraud on fuel, alcohol and tobacco is one of the largest sources of lost tax revenue in Europe. Traditional audits can only sample a small fraction of the goods actually moving through the supply chain.

Neocube, our advanced tax fraud detection system, closes that gap by giving every unit a unique, tamper-proof identity — a tax stamp or a molecular marker embedded directly in the product. From the moment goods leave the production line, authorities can verify at any checkpoint whether the correct duty has been paid.

The effect compounds across the whole supply chain: distributors can no longer move untaxed stock without detection, retailers can be spot-checked in seconds, and enforcement teams get a live map of where leakage is actually happening instead of relying on annual sampling.

Across our government deployments this kind of visibility has helped recover over €2 billion in revenue — proof that the technology, once in place, pays for itself many times over.
