Canada to Implement Tax on E-Cigarettes

Dec.30.2022
Canada to impose consumption tax on e-cigarettes starting October 1, 2021, with a transition period until 2023.

Keywords: Soon to be implemented


The Canadian government has announced that a consumption tax will be levied on electronic cigarette products, effective from October 1st this year. All e-liquids produced after this date will bear a new label. The transition period is currently underway, with the tax due to be fully implemented by early 2023.


The tax rate is determined in milliliters. The new tax rates are as follows:


Every 30 milliliters costs 7 Canadian dollars (approximately 37 yuan).


Every 60 milliliters costs 10 Canadian dollars (approximately 53 yuan).


Every 120mL costs 16 Canadian dollars (approximately 84 Chinese yuan).


In addition to federal taxes, each province can also choose to impose provincial taxes and fees, which will vary depending on each province and region. All new electronic cigarette liquids will be subject to this tax, meaning consumers will need to pay higher prices to purchase electronic cigarettes.
