Smokers will pay more! Excise duties on cigarettes and liquids will increase. The Sejm adopted an amendment to the law. Almost the entire PiS club voted against

Today the Sejm adopted an amendment to the law increasing excise tax rates on tobacco products and innovative products, i.e. heated tobacco products and liquids for electronic cigarettes.

236 MPs voted in favor of the adoption of the law amending the excise law, 188 were against and 2 MPs abstained. Now the bill goes to the Senate.

It is worth noting that almost the entire Law and Justice club and the Confederation voted against the excise tax increase.

The amendment included a new so-called roadmap for excise duty increases on tobacco products, i.e. information on planned excise duty increases on cigarettes, tobacco products and liquids for e-cigarettes and innovative products in 2025-2027.

The amended law assumes that the excise rate in the quota part for cigarettes will increase by 25 percent in 2025, by 20 percent in 2026 and by 15 percent in 2027. The quota part of the excise duty on smoking tobacco will be increased by 38%. next year by 30 percent in 2026 and by 22 percent in 2027.

According to the law, excise rates on cigars and cigarillos will be increased by 25% next year, by 20% in 2026 and by 15% in 2027.

Not just traditional cigarettes…

Excise rates will also increase – in the quantitative part, imposed on innovative products (heated tobacco products). They will increase by 50%. in 2025, by 20 percent in 2026 and by 15 percent in 2027.

The excise duty on liquids for electronic cigarettes should also be increased: next year it will increase by 75%, in 2026 by 50% and in 2027 by 25%.

The current tax rates apply until February 28, 2025. The new excise tax amount applies from March 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025.

The new excise rates are primarily intended to limit the consumption of tobacco products and their substitutes, especially by minors.
