Tax on tobacco in the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) will go up from 100 per cent to 200 per cent in 2017. Governments hope to encourage more citizens and expatriates to kick the habit of smoking, Obaid Humaid Al Tayer, Minister of State for Financial Affairs, has said.
He announced this after attending a Federal National Council session.
In the 101st meeting of the Financial and Economic Committee represented by the ministers of finance and economy in the member states last month, GCC countries had agreed to impose "selective taxation" of 100 per cent on tobacco and its products. This is similar to the 100 per cent customs duty charges in the UAE.
"While there is a problem in collecting the charge on tobacco tax at present, there are some emirates that convert the charge between the local and federal treasury on a fifty-fifty basis," he said.
Numbers don't lie, kick the butt NOW> 5 million people are killed every year from consuming tobacco products - an average of one human every six seconds > 1 billion regular smokers around the world > 80% regular smokers live in low- and middle-income countries. > 18.1% of uae population are smokers |
