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 from the Swedish parliament on 30/5 2018, it has been decided that an excise tax will be introduced on e-juices containing nicotine; the law applies to e-liquids that are 10 ml and contain 3, 6, 12 or 18 mg nicotine strength. 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 SEK 20 plus VAT of SEK 5.
When will the new law on nicotine tax 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 webshop.
How much may I import for personal use from abroad?
You may only bring with you a maximum of 20 milliliters of e-liquid and 200 grams of other nicotine-containing products per person and occasion if it is intended for the person in question or the family’s personal use.
This law does not affect shortfill bottles…
With the new nicotine law, shortfill bottles will not be affected as they are completely nicotine-free, but it does affect nic shots as they contain nicotine, so nic shots 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.
