Tax on vapes and e-cigarettes to be introduced in October's budget

The Finance Minister confirmed plans to introduce a tax on vapes and e-cigarettes next year. The 9% Vat rate for the hospitality sector is unlikely to return. Changes to inheritance tax and income tax thresholds are expected in the upcoming budget. Measures to support pensioners and address the cost of living, including maintaining the 9% Vat rate on gas and electricity over winter, are priorities. Introducing a levy on vapes and potential tax increases on cigarettes are being considered. Overall, the budget aims to support public health, reduce smoking, and provide significant support for pensioners and vulnerable groups.
