Leaked EU document reveals tax shock on white snus amid economic, political and criminal concerns
A leaked European Commission document reveals plans for a significant EU-wide tax increase on white snus, potentially causing economic, political, and criminal consequences. Published by Snusjournalen, the directive is driven by the Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD). The leak emerges amid Europe's economic struggles, with persistent inflation, slow growth, and rising tensions with the U.S., which recently imposed new tariffs on EU-made vehicles. Critics argue that the proposed tax could further burden consumers and discourage investment in EU production.
