Excise duty table for tobacco
Excise duty on tobacco is payable in accordance with the tax rate table attached to the act on excise duty on tobacco (Laki tupakkaverosta 1994/1470). The excise duty amount is usually based on the retail price of the product. In addition, cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, pipe and smoking tobacco, fine-cut rolling tobacco, and smokeless nicotine products in non-liquid form are subject to excise duty payable per unit of product.
However, the excise duty payable for cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, fine-cut rolling tobacco, and smokeless nicotine products in non-liquid form is always at least the minimum excise duty specified in the tax rate table.
Electronic cigarette liquids, heated tobacco products, and smokeless nicotine products in liquid form are only subject to excise duty 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 there are no corresponding products in Finland, the taxable value of the tobacco products is the weighted average of the retail price in the product group as confirmed by the Tax Administration.
The taxable value of other tobacco-containing products is the average retail price in the product group as confirmed by the Tax Administration. The Tax Administration also confirms the taxable value of smokeless nicotine products in non-liquid form, but only for 2024.
