In 2024, an increase in excise tax rates and the minimum tax liability on tobacco products is planned.
This process will start on July 1, 2024 and will last until December 31, 2027.
The consumer will certainly feel the changes.
In 2025, the excise tax on cigarettes will be 70 euros per 1,000 cigarettes, but according to Ukrainian plans to meet the requirements of Directive 2011/64/EU, this amount may reach 90 euros per 1,000 cigarettes.
