📋 Tobacco Regulation & Policy
💰 Tax regime
Cigarettes bear a specific excise plus an ad valorem excise on the retail price, topped by 17% VAT; total taxes represent roughly 68% of the retail price of the most-sold brand (WHO, 2020). Since 1 January 2026 the minimum excise is €152.80 per 1,000 cigarettes (€165.00 planned from 1 January 2027), and the official weighted average price used for 2026 is €312.21 per 1,000 (about €6.24 per 20-pack).
📈 Price policy
Luxembourg deliberately keeps tobacco far cheaper than France or Belgium, applying moderate annual excise adjustments (about 2.5–2.7% per year over the last decade) rather than shock increases. On 1 January 2025 the minimum excise rose by €8.40 per 1,000 (lifting the cheapest 20-pack from €5.20 to €5.50), and on 1 January 2026 it was raised to €152.80; the 2027 draft budget plans €165.00 (+8%) from 1 January 2027.
Next increase: 1 January 2027 (bill, not yet passed). See the increase calendar by country
