Read moreThe Indonesian E-liquid Producers Association (PPEI) is calling on the government, specifically the Directorate General of Customs and Excise and the Fiscal Policy Agency (BKF), to re-evaluate and lower the current excise tariff structure for e-cigarettes. While commending the government for not increasing excise rates this year, the association warns that previous hikes have had a devastating impact on the industry.
PPEI Chairman Daniel Boy stated that his organization continues to push for regulations that favor vape industry entrepreneurs. However, the economic pressure from past policies has been severe. Agung Subroto, Deputy Chairman of PPEI, revealed that two consecutive multi-year excise tax increases of 19.5% per year have forced nearly half of their members out of business. “This has reduced our membership from over 300 producers to just 170. This means that almost half of our members are unable to purchase excise stamps to produce e-liquid,” Subroto explained.
He dismissed the notion that the industry’s decline was due to negative health narratives, attributing it instead to a lack of education and the heavy tax burden. Subroto pointed to research from the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) which showed that many toxic substances found in conventional cigarettes, such as carbon monoxide, benzene, and 1,3-butadiene, were not detected in e-cigarette vapor, supporting the argument that vapes are a lower-risk alternative. PPEI hopes for further tax relaxation in the future to allow the legal industry to survive and provide these alternatives to adult smokers.
A special commission of the Israeli Tax Authority has presented recommendations to the Minister of Finance for a complete overhaul of how e-cigarettes are taxed and regulated, concluding that the current system has inadvertently created a massive black market. The report states that an exceptionally high tax rate, combined with ease of smuggling and a lack of effective oversight, has led to widespread tax evasion and significant loss of state revenue without successfully reducing consumption.
