ATO RELEASES ILLICIT TOBACCO GUIDE

Illicit tobacco continues to be a major issue within our industry.  Please find below link to the ATO report on the last financial year.  ILLICIT TOBACCO REPORT

TRADING TERM PERFOMANCE SUMMARY

In the recent TSG Newsletter July edition we mentioned TSG will assist you by providing quarterly summaries of what you have actually earned as $$$/‘000 TMC/kg from all suppliers.

We are pleased to announce that the first summary, based on Q2, will be emailed to stores in the coming days.

The aim of this summary is to help you make informed decisions on how to drive your profit margin and train your staff accordingly.

The summary is broken down to highlight your average earnings, as a blended rate on your TMC & RYO, from all 4 suppliers.  This is presented as a dollar rate per thousand sticks/kilo then down to a 200 stick carton and finally a packet/pouch of 25.  The totals for each outlet and each quarter will vary based on your quarterly/bi-monthly grading by supplier.  There will also be a table that will show the network average for comparison.  These figures make for some interesting reading.

For further information please contact your TSG Business Manager.
