Canada: Health Canada’s consultation on the Tobacco and Vaping Products Act ends tomorrow, 27th April.

Final submissions can be sent to [email protected].

- Canada: According to the Federal Budget 2022, e-liquid with or without nicotine will be taxed at a rate of CAD1 ($0.79) per 2 ml, or fraction thereof for the first 10 ml of vaping substance, and CAD1 ($0.79) per 10 ml, or fraction thereof, for volumes beyond that. If a province or territory decides to participate in a coordinated vaping taxation regime administered by the federal government the rates would double, meaning the proposed combined rate would be CAD2 ($1.58) per 2 ml, or fraction thereof, for the first 10 ml of vaping substance, and CAD2 ($1.58) per 10 ml, or fraction thereof, for volumes beyond that. More information can be found in our latest news briefing.

28th February 2022
- Canada - Ontario: France Gélinas, a member of the New Democratic Party, which is part of the minority coalition, tabled Bill 85 “Vaping is not for Kids”. The proposal aims to restrict the sale of vapour products to speciality vape stores, prohibit the promotion of e-cigarette products, and raise the minimum age for purchasing vaping products from 18 to 21.
28th February 2022
- Canada - Alberta: The provincial government will not introduce a standalone provincial tax for vapour products through the Budget 2022 (page 181). Alberta will work with the federal government to explore a coordinated taxation approach to collect a provincial tax on vaping products. According to the Budget 2022 documents, a coordinated tax structure would minimise the burden on Alberta businesses and could also reduce the risks of interprovincial smuggling and tax leakage.
