United Kingdom to Introduce Vaping Duty in 2026: New Taxes, Compliance Measures, and Crackdown on the Illicit Market
The United Kingdom will introduce an excise duty on vaping products (Vaping Products Duty - VPD) starting from 1 October 2026, set at £2.20 (approximately €2.55) per 10 ml of e-cigarette liquid.
