The publication of annual returns
The Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 requires the Ministry of Health to publish annual returns. Section 100(3)(a) of the Act states that the Director General must take all practicable steps to ensure that all returns and reports received are publicly available on an Internet site under the Director-General’s control.
Requirements relating to annual returns were introduced in 2020.
The 2022 year only included retailers classed as Specialist Vape Retailers, and 2023 onwards will include all retailers.
How to complete a return
The annual returns process is being updated – more information about how to submit your return for the 2024 year will be available soon.
If you are:
- a retailer, you must submit a separate return for each store, including online stores.
- an importer or manufacturer (a ‘notifier’), you must submit one return.
- a retailer and an importer or manufacturer, you must submit a return for the retail store, and another separate return as a manufacturer or importer (notifier).
