Fuente: Tobacco Reporter Lugar: Global Regulation The UAE will introduce a minimum excise price of Dh1 ($0.27) per milliliter for e-cigarette and vape liquids on Sept. 1, with the existing 100% excise rate applied to the higher taxable value. A 60ml bottle retailing for Dh40 ($10.80), for example, will be taxed as if it were priced at Dh60 ($16.20).



Doctors and vapers told The National the higher prices could discourage vaping among young people and prompt some existing users to cut consumption or quit. Retailers, however, warned that a wider price gap between legal and unofficial products could encourage consumers to turn to unregulated sellers.



The UAE already applies a 100% excise tax to vaping and e-cigarette liquids. The new minimum-price mechanism comes as other countries introduce or tighten vape taxes, including the U.K., which will implement a dedicated levy in October.The post UAE Vape Tax to Raise Prices in September first appeared on Tobacco Reporter.
