Regional Government Leads Spanish Initiative in Line with European Majority

The Government of the Canary Islands, an autonomous community in Spain, will impose a tax of 0.10 euros per milliliter on vaping products and e-cigarettes starting in 2024, according to the articulated text of the modification to the law regulating the tax on tobacco products. This measure, included in the draft budget for the Autonomous Community for the upcoming year, positions the Canary Islands as the first Spanish region to collect specific taxes on these products, until the central government is expected to do so for the rest of the autonomous regions.
