Key Findings
EU tax harmonisation measures have led to steep increases in specific excise taxes on cigarettes in order to bring tax levels up to EU minimum requirements. As a result, duty paid cigarette sales are well down on peak levels in 2001/02 when consumption was in excess of 35 billion pieces. Today they stand at 26.6 billion pieces. Better control of the illegal market has, however, reduced its profile from 20% in 2010 to 8.7% in 2012.
