The European Commission (EC) has just announced that the proposal for the revised tobacco excise directive (TED) should be made public at the beginning of 2022’s fourth quarter.
The announcement was made during a digital consultation session that was held on May 18th.
Present at the online event were Commission officials and other interested parties such as medical and retail associations, retailers, and representatives of scientific and the tobacco industry.
Currently, the “tobacco” tax situation in the EU remains fragmented, as different member states have imposed different tax rates on different products. In February 2020, the executive published a report suggesting that this lack of uniformity is a source of concern from the internal market perspective.
