Why are liquids so expensive?
With the introduction of the liquid tax, the prices for liquids have risen significantly. This tax was introduced by the Tobacco Tax Modernisation Act and has been in force since 1 July 2022. It affects all substances that are vaporised in e-cigarettes, including ready-made liquids, flavours, nicotine shots and bases as well as the base materials propylene glycol and glycerine.
The main reason for the increased prices is the liquid tax itself, which amounts to 20 cents per millilitre. However, this amount is not passed on directly to customers. Manufacturers also have to bear higher procurement costs and additional logistical expenses, which pushes prices up further. In addition, VAT is also levied on the tax portion, which increases the final price even further.
In future, the liquid tax will be gradually increased further. From 1 January 2025, it will rise to 26 cents per millilitre and from 1 January 2026 to 32 cents per millilitre. VAT will also continue to be levied on these increased tax amounts, which means that prices for vapers will continue to rise.
These extensive changes due to the liquid tax have a significant impact on both manufacturers and consumers. While manufacturers are struggling with higher costs and logistical efforts, consumers are faced with significantly higher prices and limited availability.
