“Plans by Germany’s governing coalition to tax vapor products are a disaster for public health and the economy, according to the country’s e-cigarette trade association, VdeH. The move will make vapor products more expensive than combustible cigarettes, which are widely acknowledged to be considerably more harmful to health. Under the plans, e-liquids will attract a tax of €4 per 10 ml bottle from July 1, 2022. On Jan. 1, 2024, the tax will increase to €8 plus VAT, i.e. €9.52 per 10 ml bottle. Based on an average sales price of about €5 per bottle, this amounts to a tripling of the retail price, says VdeH.”
