Ireland Confirms New 50c/ml Vape Tax from November 1

The Irish government has confirmed that a new excise tax on vaping products will take effect on November 1st. Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe announced that the tax will be applied at a flat rate of 50 cents per millilitre of e-liquid. This measure, formally part of Budget 2025, was delayed to give the industry adequate time to prepare.

The tax will apply to all e-liquids, both those containing nicotine and nicotine-free versions. Under the new law, suppliers of e-liquid products will be required to register with Revenue and will be liable for accounting for and paying the tax. Minister Donohoe stated the tax underscores “Ireland’s ongoing commitment to safeguarding public health and tackling the increasing consumption of vapes… particularly among young people.”

Minister of State for Public Health, Jennifer Murnane O’Connor, added that with some vapes being sold for as little as €2, this tax will help ensure these products are no longer available at “pocket money prices.” Ireland joins a significant number of other EU member states in introducing domestic taxes on e-cigarette products in the interest of public health, ahead of any bloc-wide harmonized taxation.
