Vaping Products Duty, in force since 1 October 2026
UK Vape Tax & Duty Calculator 2026 VPD
The government has set a flat £2.20 per 10ml Vaping Products Duty, with 20% VAT on the duty. That's £2.64 per 10ml extra on your receipt, the same for 0mg, salts and shortfills. Use the sliders to see what it adds to your monthly spend once your shop sells duty-paid stock (pre-duty stock can legally be sold until 31 March 2027).
