This was further demonstrated by increased investment in resources to fight this fraud announced at Summer Budget 2015 and Budget 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Effective action requires collaboration across government and HMRC and Border Force work closely with other enforcement agencies, including Trading Standards and the police to target those involved in the fraud. In the last two years alone, over 2.8 billion illicit cigarettes and over 660 tonnes of hand-rolling tobacco have been seized resulting in approximately 700 prosecutions.</p><p> </p><p>HMRC has also reviewed the impact of sanctions and is currently developing options, with particular focus on the approach taken to repeat offenders.</p><p> </p><p>In accordance with international commitments, HMRC is also developing a new track and trace system for tobacco products.
