Revenue Mobilisation and Conformity

SICPA empowers government authorities and organisations with our end-to-end Revenue Mobilisation and Conformity (RMC) solutions to make informed decisions based on accurate and reliable data.

From excisable goods, hydrocarbon, and telecommunication services to products subject to conformity standards, we provide solutions that address illicit trade whilst driving increased revenue streams.

Illicit trade and counterfeiting not only reduce turnover and profit for honest businesses and local producers: they also cause authorities to lose tax revenues. Failure to declare imported goods, miss-declaration of their nature or value and under-declaration of local production quantities undermine governments' ability to invest in social services, infrastructures, schools and public health programs.

With our cutting-edge technologies, governments effectively promote a fair and thriving marketplace; while individuals benefit from living in a safer environment.

Excisable Goods

SICPA provides a secure digital tax stamp management system to control production, import, export, and distribution of excise products such as tobacco, spirits, wine, beer, and other consumer goods.

Telecommunication Services

SICPA provides a comprehensive solution allowing government authorities to monitor telecommunication services, devices and mobile money transfers in real-time

Product Conformity

SICPA strengthens existing conformity programs by adding a secure and traceable layer on top of conformity marks, increasing product compliance to pre-defined, market specific standards.

How can governments strengthen revenue mobilisation and conformity?

Governments can enhance revenue mobilisation and conformity by ensuring comprehensive market visibility, reinforcing compliance frameworks and leveraging trusted data. SICPA supports these objectives through integrated RMC solutions that combine advanced traceability, material authentication and intelligence capabilities to strengthen regulatory oversight and national governance.

How can digital governance help governments improve revenue mobilisation?

Digital governance provides tax and customs authorities with trusted visibility over regulated economic activities. By streamlining compliance enforcement and transforming transaction workflows into actionable intelligence, it helps mitigate revenue leakage whilst optimising operational efficiency.

Why is supply chain traceability important for governments?

Supply chain traceability enables states to monitor regulated goods throughout their lifecycle. This continuous oversight empowers authorities to detect market irregularities early, strengthen enforcement capabilities and secure domestic markets for fair competition.

How can governments reduce illicit trade and revenue leakage?

By seamlessly combining physical authentication security features, digital traceability systems, and analytics, governments can cross-examine trade volumes, expose illicit networks and conduct targeted, data-driven enforcement actions.

What are the benefits of an integrated government data platform?

An integrated platform unifies data collection and verification capabilities across sovereign authorities. By dismantling administrative silos, it provides ministries and customs with secure, cross-referenced data analytics to support policy design and regulatory decision-making.

Why do governments choose SICPA?

For nearly a century, SICPA has been a trusted technology partner to sovereign states, delivering solutions that protect public revenues and promote transparency. Combining material security and digital integrity, SICPA empowers authorities to defend fiscal sovereignty and address complex sovereign governance challenges.
