The Polish Ministry of Finance has unveiled plans to amend the country’s excise tax legislation, declaring it will significantly increase the rates on e-liquids, novel tobacco products (NTPs), cigarettes and tobacco, among others. The new rates are to be introduced in 2025.
The ministry presented its proposal for next year during a meeting held on 9th July with local stakeholders, including industry representatives. While ministry officials did not release an official statement summarising their plans, some of the presented materials were published online by the meeting’s participants – such as Łukasz Kozłowski, the chief economist of the Federation of Polish Entrepreneurs (FPP).
