Tax on vape liquid 'likely' to be introduced by end of year

In last year's budget speech, then finance minister Jack Chambers said 'a typical disposable vape contains 2ml of e-liquid, and costs in the region of €8. This new tax will bring the price of such a product to €9.23 including Vat'.

The delayed tax on vape liquid is “likely” to be introduced by the end of the year, with work to implement it “well advanced”.

In Budget 2025, the Government committed to introducing a tax by the middle of this year but it has yet to be introduced.
