Poland to add vape tax by end of year
The Polish government plans to extend excise tax to vapes and tobacco heating devices, aiming to align their prices more closely with traditional cigarettes. Led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, the Council of Ministers is likely to pass the legislation, despite the original idea of promoting vapes as a safer cigarette alternative by keeping them cheaper. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Finance increased tax rates on various tobacco products. Plans include further tax increases through 2027.
