Big Changes Coming to the UAE Vaping Market
If you are a vaper in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or anywhere else in the UAE, you need to prepare for a significant change in the market. Starting September 1, 2026, the UAE Ministry of Finance is introducing a new minimum excise price of AED 1 per milliliter (mL) for all e-liquids used in vaping devices.
What Does This Mean for You?
Currently, electronic smoking products in the UAE are subject to a 100% excise tax. The new regulation adds a minimum baseline tax based on the volume of the e-liquid. This is designed to standardize pricing and ensure high-quality standards across the industry.
For consumers, this means that the prices of e-liquids—especially larger bottles and high-capacity disposable vapes—are likely to see an increase. If you regularly purchase large shortfills or heavy disposable devices, you will feel the impact of this new tax floor.
What Should You Do?
The best course of action is to stock up on your favorite e-liquids and disposable vapes before the September 1st deadline.
