Is vaping subject to tax?
Currently, vaping products are not subject to any specific consumption tax in France, unlike tobacco. They are only subject to the standard 20% VAT that applies to the majority of consumer goods sold across the country.
This lack of an additional "behavioral tax" is due to the distinction made between tobacco and electronic cigarettes. Even if the price of your bottle is not weighed down by excise duties for now, the sector remains closely monitored. It is a good time to vape smart while staying informed, as the fiscal framework for substitute products is a topic that regularly resurfaces in public debates.
