According to LA ARENA reported on July 17, the newly implemented tobacco tax policy in Argentina resulted in a widespread increase in the prices of various cigarette brands over the weekend. The price hikes ranged from 5% to 20%, varying depending on the brand and packaging specifications. This price adjustment affected several well-known brands including Marlboro, Philip Morris, Chesterfield, and Harmony.
After receiving approval in the Basic Law, the Argentine government officially announced tax increase measures through General Resolution No. 5524/2024 in the official gazette. They have started implementing what is known as the "cigarette internal and additional emergency tax". This tax adjustment came into effect last Saturday, the 13th, and according to the new policy, the additional emergency tax levied on cigarette sales is determined based on a 7% tax rate on the final retail price of every pack of cigarettes nationwide, without any deductions.
In terms of prices adjusted for each brand, the new Marlboro prices are as follows:
The Red Box 20 is priced at $3.620, the Red KS 20 is priced at $3.190, the Red Box 12 is priced at $2.170, the Blue Coral Purple XL Box 20 is priced at $3.470, and the Vista Limited Edition Box 20 is also priced at $3.470.
Philip Morris brand price adjustment: Box of 20 priced at $3.010, KS 20 box priced at $2.660, Box of 12 priced at $1.790, Blue rotating box of 20 priced at $3.040, Random blue rotating box of 12 priced at $1.820.
