UAE will levy 100% tax on vaping devices by January 1, 2020
UAE Federal Tax Authority declared that all the vape juice and electronic cigarette devices will be taxed by January 1, 2020. And the tax rate is 100%, which is incredibly high.
This new tax will be levied on both e-cig devices and e-liquids. And the nicotine content won’t have any influence on the 100% tax rate.
Considering this, we believe most sellers will choose to sell high nicotine strength e-liquids and pods in the near future, to make users as addictive as possible to make more money
Besides, in the opinion of VAPE HK, people in the UAE are richer than other districts in the world, and the levy of this tax would not influence the vape sales much.
