Cigarettes, tobacco, cigars, and cigarillos have seen a decrease in the excise tax rate while the fixed tax amount has increased. The new regulation may reflect an increase of 1 to 2 lira in cigarette prices.
FIXED TAXES HAVE INCREASED
There has been a change in the taxation of cigarettes, tobacco, cigars, and cigarillos. According to the Official Gazette published today, the proportional tax applied to these products has been reduced from 50% to 45%. In contrast, the fixed tax amount has been raised from 12.1495 lira to 16 lira. The minimum fixed tax has decreased from 2.1189 lira to 1.975 lira.
NEW TAX CALCULATION FOR CIGARETTES
The taxation of cigarettes consists of three items: proportional excise tax, fixed tax, and VAT. With the new regulation, a minimum fixed tax of 1.975 lira will be collected for each of the 20 sticks of cigarettes in a pack. Additionally, the fixed tax will be applied at 16 lira.
PRICE INCREASE OF 2 LIRA FOR CIGARETTES MAY OCCUR
According to calculations, the total tax burden on a pack of cigarettes, including VAT, has increased from 65.44 lira to 66.6 lira. This may reflect an increase of approximately 1 to 2 lira in cigarette prices. However, industry sources indicate that cigarette manufacturers may not immediately pass this increase on to prices.
Finally, last week, there was a 5 lira increase in cigarette prices per pack.
