The Spanish government has implemented a new e-cigarette tax policy, which mainly targets e-cigarette oil and nicotine bags. For e-cigarette oil, the tax standards vary according to the nicotine content: if the nicotine content is less than or equal to 15 mg/ml, 0.15 euros per milliliter will be levied; if the nicotine content is higher than 15 mg/ml, 0.20 euros per milliliter will be levied. This policy aims to regulate the e-cigarette market and improve tax fairness.
In addition, the implementation scope of this tax policy covers e-cigarette manufacturers, storers, distributors, importers, and companies that sell in Spain after purchasing in the EU. At the same time, the tax authorities will also tax other products containing nicotine but not tobacco, such as nicotine bags, at a tax of 0.10 euros per gram.
It is worth noting that the policy also stipulates some exemptions, such as small amounts for personal use (such as less than 20 ml), scientific research purposes, and products that are destroyed by supervision are exempt from tax.
This new tax policy was implemented by the Spanish government on the basis of a royal decree called the Comprehensive Decree, and will officially take effect on December 22, 2024, and will apply to most parts of Spain. In the Canary Islands of Spain, the region has previously become the first region in Spain to impose taxes on e-cigarette oils, but the tax rate is different from this new policy.
GUUTUU recalculates product costs according to the tax standards of the new policy and adjusts the selling price accordingly to ensure that the profit margin is not too affected. At the same time, it can consider launching a product portfolio with different nicotine content to take advantage of the tax differences, provide consumers with more choices, and optimize the product structure.
On the basis of price adjustments, GUUTUU should increase brand promotion in the Spanish market to enhance brand awareness and reputation. Through a combination of online and offline marketing methods, expand product exposure and attract more potential consumers. Organize promotional activities such as limited-time discounts and buy-one-get-one-free activities to increase product sales and market share.
GUUTUU deeply studies the specific provisions of the new Spanish e-cigarette tax policy to understand the conditions for tax reduction or exemption. If possible, apply for tax reduction or exemption to reduce product costs and improve competitiveness. Maintain good communication with local tax authorities to ensure compliance operations and avoid tax risks.
In summary, GUUTUU closely follows the changes in the new tax policy of e-cigarettes in Spain, and actively responds to the challenges brought about by policy changes by adjusting product pricing strategies, strengthening marketing, and exploring compliant tax reduction channels to ensure stable operations and continued growth in the Spanish market.
