# UAE Sets Minimum Excise Price for E-Cigarette Liquids 2026-08-06T14:40:49+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The UAE will impose a minimum excise price of Dirham 1 per millilitre on liquids used in electronic smoking devices from September 1, 2026. The Ministry of Finance announced the decision on August 6, saying it aims to improve compliance with excise tax rules and apply consistent standards across tobacco and electronic smoking products. The existing minimum excise price for cigarettes, water pipe tobacco, ready-to-use tobacco products and similar goods will continue. The ministry said the UAE’s 100 per cent excise tax on covered tobacco products remains unchanged. The decision introduces a minimum price for e-cigarette liquids, rather than changing that tax rate, according to the Emirates News Agency. ## Coverage - siasat.com Tags: e-cigarettes, excise tax, tobacco, UAE, vaping Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/uae-sets-minimum-excise-price-for-e-cigarette-liquids/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
