Excise duty table for tobacco

Excise duty on tobacco is payable in accordance with the excise duty table attached to the act on excise duty on tobacco. The duty is imposed based on the retail price of the product. In addition, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipe and cigarette tobacco as well fine-cut rolling tobacco are subject to excise duty payable per unit of product. However, the amount of excise duty payable for cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos and fine-cut rolling tobacco is always at least the minimum duty laid down in the excise duty table. Excise duty on tobacco imposed on electronic cigarette liquids is only payable per unit of product.

The retail price for tobacco products imported for purposes other than commercial sale is the same as the retail price for corresponding products in Finland. If no corresponding products exist in Finland, the taxable value of the products is the weighted average of the retail price in the product group. The average is confirmed by the Tax Administration.

The excise duty value of other tobacco-containing products is the average retail price in the product group, confirmed by the Tax Administration.
