Account of materials.

80.—(1) Subject to subsection (2) the Commissioners may require a manufacturer of tobacco products to account to them to their satisfaction for all the materials received by such manufacturer and, in the case of materials not so accounted for, they may require such manufacturer to pay at the appropriate rate or rates tobacco products tax on such quantities of such tobacco products as, in their opinion, might reasonably be expected to be manufactured from those materials.

(2) The Commissioners may, subject to compliance with such conditions as they may think fit to impose, waive, in relation to materials shown to their satisfaction to have been destroyed or otherwise disposed of in a manner approved of by them, tobacco products tax which, would be otherwise payable under this section.
