The Verkhovna Rada today, December 4, adopted a law on increasing excise taxes on tobacco products. Bill No. 11090 was supported in the second reading by 237 deputies.

People's Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported this on his Telegram channel.

“Next year, a pack of cigarettes will increase by about +40 UAH. Maybe more, since excise taxes by this law will be tied to the euro and will gradually approach in their volume the minimum requirements of the EU,” the politician said in a statement.

At the same time, the deputy noted that amendments on the equalization of excise taxes on tobacco products for electric heating (TIENam) were not passed.
