There have been radical changes in the vaping products state taxation in the USA in the past years. From the end of 2019, the number of states applying special excise taxes on e-cigarettes and e-liquids has increased from 9 to 30 states (as of by the end of 2021).
It is rather difficult to provide a comparison of the specific taxes introduced in different states, while there is no common calculation base. Although, the calculation of the tax burden on reference products has been carried out, the results being presented in this report.
In almost all states, e-cigarettes are subject to sales and use tax as tangible personal property, plus any additional local municipal taxes are applied. Particular attention should be paid to how the state determines taxable products: whether it only includes nicotine-containing products; whether it applies to parts and accessories; whether it applies to products made from synthetic nicotine. Generally, synthetic nicotine products are subject to tax definitions.
The main product categories, which analyzed in this report in scope of tax burden and end-user price, are:
- prefilled pods and cartridges, prefilled disposables (closed systems);
- bottled E-liquid;
- empty devices, batteries and parts (open systems).
