Here you will receive information about the new nicotine tax on e-liquids containing nicotine.
How will the new nicotine tax affect you?
With the new decision by the Swedish Parliament on 30/5 2018, it has been determined that an excise tax will be introduced on e-juices containing nicotine. The law applies to e-liquids that are 10ml and contain nicotine strengths of 3, 6, 12 or 18mg. This law only applies within Sweden.
The tax is charged at 2 kronor per ml of e-liquid. This means that a 10-milliliter bottle containing nicotine will increase in price by 20kr plus VAT of 5 kronor.
When does the new nicotine tax law come into effect?
The law will come into effect on 1 July, and it is only then that we will introduce a price change in our stores and in our online shop.
How much may I import for personal use from abroad?
You may bring with you a maximum of 20 milliliters of e-liquid and 200 grams of other nicotine-containing products per person and occasion if they are intended for the person in question or for the family's personal use.
This law does not affect shortfill bottles…
The new nicotine law will not affect shortfill bottles since they are completely nicotine-free, but it does affect nicshots since they contain nicotine, so nicshots will also become a few kronor more expensive. However, the shortfill concept itself is still cheaper than non-TPD-approved bottles that are already premixed with nicotine.
