October 2026 is just around the corner and with it comes the introduction of the vape tax, a financial storm for the vaping industry and its users. Dubbed the second most monumental event in vaping since the Tobacco Products Directive of 2017, this new law will reshape pricing, products and buying habits.
What Vapes Are Being Taxed?
The Labour government will be introducing a “flat rate duty on all vaping liquid” and a tax of £2.20 per 10ml of e-liquid will be introduced, from October 1st 2026.
This tax, however, is also subject to VAT. This means it’s not just a £2.20 rise, but in fact it is a £2.64 rise on a 10ml e-liquid – as an extra 20% VAT will be added.
What you can do now to prepare?
Our advice at this stage, is simply add some nicotine shots to every order where or when you can. Take advantage of offers before they get restricted.
Or apply for B2B status for 72mg if you are legible too that is, and fill your freezers.
