Egypt Introduces New Tax Regulations for E-Cigarettes in 2024, Including 14% VAT on Disposables
According to a report from Vaping Post on July 15th, the Egyptian customs department has issued Notification No. 35 of 2024, which contains new regulations on e-cigarette taxation.
The Director of the Egyptian Tax Authority, Rasha Abdel Aal Rady, explained that the notice was based on correspondence between the Tax Authority and Customs, regarding taxation on e-cigarette liquid and disposable e-cigarettes. This directive has now been applied to the customs declaration number 254275 for a company called Shelter Group Investment.
The director stated that after a study by the Tax Law Committee established by Resolution No. 206 of the Minister of Finance in 2020, the committee concluded that discarded disposable e-cigarettes should be subject to a 14% value-added tax based on their value. The Minister of Finance approved this decision on May 30th.
