Any Germans here?

[HansBjore]

To my fellow Germans,

Apparently there's a new law in the works by the German government, preparing a tax hike on nicotine.

Does anyone know how much of a hike we're talking and when it's planned to be enforced?

Hi and welcome,
I'm not German, but from Spain, it looks like another EU money grab.

"The new tax is “a response to current market developments.” It would include a tax of €0.02 ($0.02) per mg of nicotine for e-liquids, effective July 1, 2022. Beginning Jan. 1, 2024, the tax would double by the end of 2026."

Did you search google.DE and google.COM for that information?

You can skip clicking on the Bloomberg result because they want you to pay to read their articles.

Agreed on the EU money grab comment.

Also in Spain and i just waiting for this to happen to us.
Doubt they will put a new ''tax'' on mods,atomizers of PG/VG (since it has commercial uses).
The only way the government can screw us is putting tax on nicotine,we can only hope it is a small %...
But then again if the government is losing money (from the sales of cigarettes) they will want to make up for it.

Truly pathetic,they should encourage vaping to people that smoke,the doctors should have bussiness cards from local vape shops and encourage them to go and visit them but no they are just thinking on how to make more money,truly saddens me.

I'm American of German descent. Does that count? I live in a town that has a German name and almost everyone has a German last name.
